  Evolutionary robotics aims to automatically design autonomous adaptive
morphological robots that can evolve to accomplish a specific task while
adapting to environmental changes. Soft robotics have demonstrated the
feasibility of evolutionary robotics for the synthesis of robots control and
morphology. The motivation of developing evolutionary soft computing techniques
to that can generate task oriented structures for morphological robots makes
the domain of soft robotics worthy of serious investigation and research, and
hence this article summarizes an important volume of research for a
computational and software architecture perspective. This paper reviews the
literature and discusses various aspects of evolutionary robotics including the
application on morphological soft robots to allow self assembly, self
reconfiguration, self repair, and self reproduction. Then, major milestones are
outlined along with important morphological soft robotic prototypes due to
their importance in the field. Finally, the current state of the art in the
field is assessed.
