Seminar 4/21/10: Artificial Evolution, Curt Toppin

The theory of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin changed the way biologists view the world. Many programming structures are based on a real-world concept. By using the concept of fitness and mutation as a basis, we will discuss how to evolve images and LEGO structures for features desired by the user of the program.
