• abstract = "We have developed a novel method to grow neural networks according to an inherited set of production rules (the genotype), inspired by Lindenmayer systems. In the first phase (neurogenesis), the neurons proliferate in three-dimensional space by cell division, and differentiate in function, according to the production rules. In the second phase (synaptogenesis), axons emerge from the neurons and seek out connection targets. Part of each production rule is an augmented Reverse Polish Notation expression; this permits regulation of the applicable rules, as well as introduction of spatial and temporal context to the developmental process. We connect each network to a (fixed) robotic body with a set of input sensors and muscle actuators. The robot is placed in a physically simulated environment and controlled by its network for a certain time, receiving a fitness score according to its behavior (the phenotype). Mutations are introduced into offspring by making changes to their sets of production rules. This paper introduces the L-brain developmental method, and describes our first experiments with it, which produced controllers for robotic spiders with the ability to gallop, and to follow a compass heading.",
