Popis: Modern robotics uses many advanced precise algorithms to control autonomous agents. Now arises tendency to apply machine learning in niches, where precise algorithms are hard to design or implement. With machine learning, for continuous control tasks, evolution strategies are used. We propose an enhancement to crossover operator, which diminishes probability of degraded offsprings compared to conventional crossover operators. Our experiments in TORCS environment show, that presented algorithm can evolve robust neural networks for non-trivial continuous control tasks such as driving a racing car in various tracks.
