  abstract =     "This paper introduces a new approach to developing a
                 fast gait for a quadruped robot using genetic
                 programming (GP). Planning gaits for legged robots is a
                 challenging task that requires optimising parameters in
                 a highly irregular and multi-dimensional space. Several
                 recent approaches have focused on using genetic
                 algorithms (GAs) to generate gaits automatically and
                 have shown significant improvement over previous gait
                 optimization results. Most current GA-based approaches
                 optimise only a small, pre-selected set of parameters,
                 but it is difficult to decide which parameters should
                 be included in the optimisation to get the best
                 results. Moreover, the number of pre-selected
                 parameters is at least 10, so it can be relatively
                 difficult to optimise them, given their high degree of
                 interdependence. To overcome these problems of the
                 typical GA-based approach, we have proposed a seemingly
                 more efficient approach that optimises joint
                 trajectories instead of locus-related parameters in
                 Cartesian space, using GP. Our GP-based method has
                 obtained much-improved results over the GA-based
                 approaches tested in experiments on the Sony AIBO ERS-7
                 in the Webots environment. The elite archive mechanism
                 is introduced to combat the premature convergence
                 problems in GP and has shown better results than a
                 traditional multi-population approach.",
