In this paper an evolutionary algorithm is used for evolving gaits in a walking biped robot controller. The focus is fast learning in a real-time environment. An incremental approach combining a genetic algorithm (GA) with hill climbing is proposed. This combination interacts in an efficient way to generate precise walking patterns in less than 15 generations. Our proposal is compared to various versions of GA and stochastic search, and finally tested on a pneumatic biped walking robot.
