Typo in text. Line 7 from top: se huge –› such huge

Typo in text. The axiom of the L-system whose development is represented in Figure 4.1 is d_l, not d_r.

Typo in figure caption. In caption of figure 6.27: remove text "Figures 16 and 15 from AutoRobo."

Missing citation (Floreano and Mondada, 1996a), 3rd line after "These questions were explored..." Also, the reference entry should be added to the bibliography: Floreano, D. and Mondada, F. (1996) Evolution of Homing Navigation in a Real Mobile Robot. IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics Part B: Cybernetics, 26(3): 396-407.

Typo in formula. In section 7.2 (p. 525) the formula for a particle's velocity is specified as

$v_{i}^{t+1}=av_{i}^{t}+b(x_{i}^{p}-x_{i}^{t})+c(x_{j}^{t}-x_{i}^{t})$.

However, in text the sub-term that refers to the best observed position $(x_{i}^{p}-x_{i}^{t})$ is denoted as $(x_{i}^{b}-x_{i}^{t})$.
In the last line on p. 525 the value $x_{i}^{p}$ is also refered to as $x_{i}^{b}$.

527
Typo in citation. "Landon" should be "Langdon" here and in bibliography (page 622) "Landon, W. B. and Poli, R. (2007). Evolving problems to learn about particle swarm optimizers and other search algorithms. IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, 11:561–578."
 
529
Typo in formula. In Section 7.3, in the formula for pheromone evaporation, add a plus operator (+) between the evaporated amount of pheromones and the newly added ones, i.e., read

$\tau_{ij}^{t+1}=(1-\rho)\tau_{ij}^{t}+\Delta T_{ij}$

instead of

$\tau_{ij}^{t+1}=(1-\rho)\tau_{ij}^{t}~\Delta T_{ij}$

Missing brackets in citation: "Floreano and Nolfi 1997b and Floreano et al. 2001" should be "Floreano and Nolfi (1997b) and Floreano et al. (2001)"
 
569
Typo in citation. Year should be 1999 (not 1998) in citation "Nolfi and Floreano (1998)" here and in bibliography (page 631) "Nolfi, S. and Floreano, D. (1998). Co-evolving predator and prey robots: Do 'arms races' arise in artificial evolution? Artificial Life, 4:311–335."
