Classical optimization methodologies fall short in very large and
complex domains. In this book is suggested a different approach to
optimization, an approach which is based on the 'blind' and
heuristic mechanisms of evolution and population genetics. The
genetic approach to optimization introduces a new philosophy to
optimization in general, but particularly to engineering. By
introducing the 'genetic' approach to robot trajectory generation,
much can be learned about the adaptive mechanisms of evolution and
how these mechanisms can solve real world problems. It is suggested
further that optimization at large may benefit greatly from the
adaptive optimization exhibited by natural systems when attempting
to solve complex optimization problems, and that the determinism of
classical optimization models may sometimes be an obstacle in
nonlinear systems.This book is unique in that it reports in detail
on an application of genetic algorithms to a real world problem,
and explains the considerations taken during the development work.
Futhermore, it addresses robotics in two new aspects: the
optimization of the trajectory specification which has so far been
done by human operators and has not received much attention for
both automation and optimization, and the introduction of a
heuristic strategy to a field predominated by deterministic
strategies.
