AI-based algorithm uses "compressed evolution" to create functional robots

Summary by Ground News
Northwestern University developed an algorithm that can design purpose-specific robots in seconds. The algorithm was trained on the principles of natural evolution. It is hoped that once the technology is developed further, it could be used to optimize the design of robots intended for applications such as searching for trapped survivors at disaster sites.

AI-based algorithm uses "compressed evolution" to create functional robots

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 to design purpose-specific robots within a matter of seconds.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, TechnologyTags: Northwestern University, Artificial Intelligence, Evolutionary robotics
