Tri-ped:  
   
triped
   
Idea: A creature with three legs isn't really a natural example and we therefore just decided to design a creature that is not related to any animal but has a solid and balanced construction.

As the agent succeeded quite quickly in walking we decided to give it a more complex task to challenge the evolutionary process. Over the time and with some changes in construction, the creature evolved a jumping or jogging like behaviour which made it move faster than before.
   
Task: Moving as fast as possible with a jogging/jumping like behaviour
   
Properties:

Population Size: 100

Generations: 500

Mutation Rate: 2.0

Hidden Layer: 3

 

   
Animation:  triped
   
Construction/
Problems:
When we started designing the triped we had some basic problems with the construction of the creature. Mainly this happend because it was the first agent we created and we had to get used to the tool and its functionalities at first. Besides that we didn't encounter problems worth while to mention here.
