Evolutionary algorithms represent a class of optimisation techniques inspired by the principles of biological evolution. These methods iteratively modify candidate solutions using operations analogous ...

As embodied AI moves from demos to deployment, my personal view is that the future will follow the evolutionary path. It better matches how technologies scale, how businesses work, and how our ...

Evolution is a trip. On the one hand, it’s a seemingly simple mechanism—those best fitted to their environment have more babies, while less fit individuals don’t reproduce as much, and their genes ...

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have long provided a flexible framework for solving challenging optimisation problems by mimicking natural evolutionary processes. When combined with multitask ...

McCormick Prof. Sam Kriegman and his lab assistant David Matthews recently developed a one-of-a-kind artificial intelligence program that builds a robot in seconds. This program is the first AI to be ...

Roboticists often copy nature, crafting humanoid robots for household chores, worm-style machines for crawling through tunnels and four-legged contraptions that look like cheetahs for running and ...

Scientists have created a computer algorithm that can be used to witness virtual creatures evolving their squishy, muscle-like features in order to teach themselves to walk. A research team led by ...

For the first time, researchers in the field of evolutionary robotics have used physically embodied robots to study epigenetic effects on robot evolution. The study confirms the great importance of ...
