    Genetic Algorithm Robots

    This project is a C++ implementation of an experiment first initiated at Harvard University in 1968. The primary objective is to study the effects of evolution on a population of robots using a genetic algorithm. Robots are designed to navigate a grid in search of batteries, which they use as an energy source. As they move and make decisions, they consume energy, and their survival depends on efficient decision-making.
