However, works in this area are often confronted to complex environments where even simple tasks cannot be achieved. In the scope of this paper, we propose an approach based on explicit problem decomposition and dynamic environment shaping to ease the learning task. date: 2005 date_type: published volume: 123 publisher: Lund University Cognitive Studies pagerange: 137-138 refereed: TRUE citation: Bredeche, Nicolas and Hugues, Louis (2005) Speeding up Learning with Dynamic Environment Shaping in Evolutionary Robotics.
