We propose a novel method for evolving adaptive locomotive strategies for virtual limbless creatures that addresses both functional and non-functional requirements, respectively the ability to avoid obstacles and to minimise spent energy. We describe an approach inspired by artificial immune systems, based on a dual-layer idiotypic network that results in a completely decentralised controller. Results are compared to a set of five fixed locomotion strategies and show that adaptive control can evolve and simultaneously optimise energy requirements, starting from the same locomotion non-adaptive strategies.

Abstract
We propose a novel method for evolving adaptive locomotive strategies for virtual limbless creatures that addresses both functional and non-functional requirements, respectively the ability to avoid obstacles and to minimise spent energy. We describe an approach inspired by artificial immune systems, based on a dual-layer idiotypic network that results in a completely decentralised controller. Results are compared to a set of five fixed locomotion strategies and show that adaptive control can evolve and simultaneously optimise energy requirements, starting from the same locomotion non-adaptive strategies.
