Hands-On Neuroevolution with Python

Understanding the problem domain

In this book, some of the experiments we have discussed have been related to real processes in the physical world. To find successful solutions for such processes, you need to understand the underlying physical laws and principles. For example, the problem of balancing the cart-pole apparatus requires us to define a full set of equations of motion to write an accurate simulator of the task.

Also for most tasks in the field of robotics, you need to write a simulator that uses the correct physical model and equations of the underlying apparatus. You need to fully comprehend the physics of the process to implement the simulator correctly. And even if you use a ready-made simulator, understanding the physical ...
