cool project to use a genetic algorithm for?

Question

I'm looking for a practical application to use a genetic algorithm for. Some things that have thought of are:

Website interface optimization

Vehicle optimization with a physics simulator

Genetic programming

Automatic test case generation

But none have really popped out at me. So if you had some free time (a few months) to spend on a genetic algorithm project, what would you choose to tackle?

Answer 1

The evolutionary algorithms are used for implementing game playing. Genetic algorithms (GA) are a type of evolutionary algorithm. GA works on the principle of human genes and chromosomes. GA stops working after many crossovers and mutations. 

Now, Coming to your question, You can use genetic algorithms for poker, checkers/draughts, and many other applications. You can design really intelligent bots using genetic algorithms. 

This blog contains links to many interesting evolutionary projects.

Hope this answer helps.
