Interoceptive robustness through environment-mediated morphological development

1 code implementation6 Apr 2018 Sam Kriegman, Nick Cheney, Francesco Corucci, Josh C. Bongard

Typically, AI researchers and roboticists try to realize intelligent behavior in machines by tuning parameters of a predefined structure (body plan and/or neural network architecture) using evolutionary or learning algorithms.

Evolving soft locomotion in aquatic and terrestrial environments: effects of material properties and environmental transitions

no code implementations17 Nov 2017 Francesco Corucci, Nick Cheney, Francesco Giorgio-Serchi, Josh Bongard, Cecilia Laschi

Designing soft robots poses considerable challenges: automated design approaches may be particularly appealing in this field, as they promise to optimize complex multi-material machines with very little or no human intervention.

A Minimal Developmental Model Can Increase Evolvability in Soft Robots

1 code implementation22 Jun 2017 Sam Kriegman, Nick Cheney, Francesco Corucci, Josh C. Bongard

Different subsystems of organisms adapt over many time scales, such as rapid changes in the nervous system (learning), slower morphological and neurological change over the lifetime of the organism (postnatal development), and change over many generations (evolution).
