Modular Robot Evolution

Modular Robot Evolution is an evolutionary robotics framework that iteratively optimizes both the morphological modularity and control systems of robotic agents through genetic algorithms, distinguishing itself by enabling adaptive reconfiguration of discrete, reusable structural components to achieve robustness and versatility across changing environments.
