1. A method for tracking three-dimensional movement of an object and focusing thereon, the method comprising steps of: obtaining, with an information capturing device, multiple captures of information of an object, the information capturing device having both a field of view and multiple parameter settings, wherein the multiple capture of information are obtained at a corresponding number of different parameter settings; analyzing, with a computer, each capture of information to locate the object in the field of view and to obtain corresponding information metrics for each capture of information; assigning each capture of information a fitness score based on the corresponding information metric; ranking the fitness scores of the multiple captures of information to identify at least two captures of information with the highest fitness scores; constructing a second generation of parameter settings using a biologically-inspired algorithm based on the at least two captures of information identified in the step of ranking, wherein at least half of the multiple captures of information are omitted from the at least two captures of information; adjusting the information capturing device to the second generation of parameter settings, including adjusting a position of the information capturing device to track the object in the field of view as the object moves in three-dimensional environment; repeating the method at least once with the second generation of parameter settings.
