Robots Need Some Education: On the complexity of learning in evolutionary robotics

arXiv:2604.04196v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Evolutionary Robotics and Robot Learning are two fields in robotics that aim to automatically optimize robot designs. The key difference between them lies in what is being optimized and the time scale involved. Evolutionary Robotics is a field that applies evolutionary computation techniques to evolve the morphologies or controllers, or both. Robot Learning, on the other hand, involves any learning technique aimed at optimizing a robot's controll
