This paper investigates the role of genetic algorithms in determining which kind of specialisation emerges in decentralised simulated teams of robots controlled by evolved neural networks. As shown in previous works, different tasks may be better solved by robots specialized in a particular manner. However it was not clarified how much the genetic algorithm used might drive the evolution of one kind of specialisation or another: this is the goal of this paper. The study is conducted by evolving teams of robots that have to solve two different tasks that are better accomplished by using different types of specialisation (innate versus situated). Results suggest that the type of genetic algorithm employed plays a major role in determining how robots specialize and in most of the cases the algorithms used tend to always yield the same specialization. Only one of the algorithms tested led to the emergence of the most suitable kind of specialisation for each one of the two tasks
