Evaluation of a genetic representation for outline shapes

Research Output

This work in progress focuses on the evaluation of a genetic representation for outline shapes for planar mechanical levers which addresses the first stage of the complex real-world problem of modelling and evolving planar mechanical lever systems. The representation defines the genotype and the phenotype mapping onto a lever geometry. As a proof of concept, the representation was evaluated using an evolutionary algorithm with simplified fitness function to investigate its capability to facilitate search space coverage, work with evolutionary operators; and produce shapes with certain lever characteristics, such as edges and curves.
