• Added calculation of population diversity using Euclidean distance of morphological traits
• Added calculation of population diversity using the edit-tree distance of morphological traits
• Removed hidden units from the multineat generating the initial genotypes that seemed to be causing bias towards already picked modules (temporal fix, will need more study)
• Added camera support for v2 physical interfaces

Fixes

• Fixed an error occurring from manually closing the simulation while the framework still tried to render the scene
• Corrected some incorrect measures for v2 body
• Fixed the incorrect CPPN output that was being used

1.2.2

• Change unit-test names to reflect examples better.
• Improved video capturing in simulators by: k.j.m.godin-dubois@vu.nl.

Fixes:

• Parsing Dummy image to sensors for V2 physical robot (until the camera is supported by robohatlib).

• Evolution abstraction layer, for better experiment structure.
• Interactive objects available in simulations (example: ball).

Changes:

• Development Function Revised (V2 only).
• Documentation improved substantially.
• Revised Logo
• Git CI changed to only run in PRs and pushes to development and master.
• New structure to examples and better documentation.

Fixes:

• Fixed setting children on modules for V2.

1.0.2

Additions:

• Added support for IMU-Sensors in Simulation and on the Physical Robot
• Added support for IP-Cameras in the RoboLab (Only relevant for CI-Group members)
• Added Contributor Guide and Issue Templates
• Added a new unit test for testing the brain_with_feedback example

Changes:

• Changed default robot type to V2 in all examples (as V1 is deprecated),
• Changed structure of Sensors in the modules.
• Changed structure of the Builders.

Fixes:

• Fixed development bug for V2 robots.

1.0.0rc1

New features

• Reworked interface for simulation and modular robot simulation.
• Added feedback for brains. Implemented for active hinge positions.
• Added v2 hardware support in simulation.
• Armature, kv, and kp can now be set directly in ActiveHinge.
• RPi controller has been reworked to be a lot easier to use. Remote has been removed temporarily but we will be added again soon in better shape.

Documentation and general project things

• Many and various improvements to documentation.
• Various improvements and fixes to the CI.
• Improved and added examples.
• Updated project layout and pyproject.toml files.

Bug fixes and minor updates

• Fixed bug in geometries where colors were not properly initialized.
• Added Vector2d and replaced Vector3d wherever applicable.
• Removed warning message for NamedTemporaryFile on Windows, as the applied backup strategy turns out to be reliable, making the * Various minor refactors and cleanups.message superfluous.
• Fixed bug in morphological measures symmetry.

Regressions
RPi controller remote has been removed, but will be added again in the next version in an improved form.
