Abstract :
An evolutionary autonomous navigation system is described that evolves two basic, conflicting behaviors, namely, obstacle avoidance and target seeking, as the system acquires skill to coordinate them (behavior emergence and coordination skill acquisition happen simultaneously). Simulation experiments show promising results: the number of target captures increases and the number of collisions stabilizes, as generations proceed. They confirm the evolutionary learning capacity of the reactive navigation system proposed
