[ODE] Parameters for evolving *stable* articulated creatures...

[Jon Watte]

Perhaps the answer lies in defining a different fitness criteria? I e, penalize floating or floating-like behavior in your reward function.

Hello, 
 
I'm trying to evolve articulated creatures, Sims-like. 
( http://www.genarts.com/karl/evolved-virtual-creatures.html )

Of course, when I change the ERP/CFM parameters, I can get any creature to 
behave correctly - but then evolution finds a new way to exploit the new 
parameters, and comes up with another "floating" creature.
