Abstract

This paper investigates the employment of a Genetic Algorithm to optimally configure the parameters of a class of weightless artificial neural network architectures. Specifically, the Genetic Algorithm is used to vary the parameters of the architecture and reduce the rigidity of the mutation algorithm to allow for a more varied population and avoidance of local minima traps. An exemplar of the system is presented in the form of an obstacle avoidance system for a mobile robot equipped with ultrasonic sensors.
