  abstract =     "Evolution has proven to be an effective method of
                 training heterogeneous multi-agent teams of autonomous
                 agents to explore unknown environments. Autonomous,
                 heterogeneous agents are able to go places where humans
                 are unable to go and perform tasks that would be
                 otherwise dangerous or impossible to complete. However,
                 a serious problem for practical applications of
                 multi-agent teams is how to move from training
                 environments to real-world environments. In particular,
                 if the training environment cannot be made identical to
                 the real-world environment how much will performance
                 suffer? In this research we investigate how differences
                 in training and testing environments affect
                 performance. We find that while in general performance
                 degrades from training to testing, for difficult
                 training environments performance improves in the test
                 environment. Further, we find distinct differences
                 between the performance of different training
                 algorithms with Orthogonal Evolution of Teams (OET)
                 producing the best overall performance.",
