Engineers at Northwestern University have developed a new class of modular robots called “legged ...

Northwestern University engineers have developed the first modular robots with athletic intelligence. They can be combined ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Meet Colucat: the offline AI companion with a tactile soul. It evolves through emotional bonding and a unique mystery-box feeding system.New ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
