Fun with a GA-cycle!
Just happened to StumbleUpon this page while I was eating at my desk. Apparently, the author is using a genetic algorithm to construct a cycle-type device that will go over the bumps. If you watch for a few minutes you can see it evolve from a mass of confused wheels, weights and bars into something that actually moves... into something that actually climbs over the terrain.
Each generation has a population of 20. Once each of the 20 is tested and scored (left side scroll), we advance one generation. The graph in the upper right apparently shows the fitness function results from one generation (green) to the next (black). It's auto-scaled so the highest one sets the vertical range.
It doesn't take too long to see familiar configurations appear. You kinda start rooting them on, too!
Kinda nifty.
