Abstract
We evolve a robotic controller for a four-legged real robot enabling it to walk dynamically. Evolution is performed on-line by a linear machine code GP system. The robot has eight degrees of freedom and is built from standard R/C servos. Different walking strategies are shown by the robot during evolution and the evolving system is robust against mechanical failures.
