Abstract: In this research, a biped robot is programmed to learn to walk using genetic algorithms. The biped robot has the ability to rise after a fall. The system is made according to human genetics, where a child tries to learn to walk, takes a few steps, falls, and then stands up somehow after a fall. After this process, the system restarts and tries to walk again. The biped robot evolves after each generation, and after each generation it will have a more natural walking posture. The system is unpredictable, because the biped robot sometimes evolves faster and sometimes evolves slower, like in human genetics where some children are faster and other children are slower to walk. The biped robot is considered to have evolved enough after having a walking posture similar to that of a human and does not fall.
