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 ...

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 ...

Elon Musk’s recent announcement of an upcoming Tesla Bot — complete with a human form, “human-level hands” and a characteristically optimistic delivery date — has garnered a healthy serving of ...

Evolution is a very slow process, due largely to the fact that nature doesn't "know" in advance which features of an animal will be beneficial. A new AI-based algorithm does know, however, allowing it ...

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 ...

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 ...

Evolutionary algorithms are an interesting topic of study. Rather then relying on human ingenuity and investigation to create new designs, instead, an algorithm is given a target to achieve, and ...
