Evolving soft locomotion in aquatic and terrestrial environments: effects of material properties and environmental transitions
Francesco Corucci, Nick Cheney, Francesco Giorgio-Serchi +2
Designing soft robots poses considerable challenges: automated design approaches may be particularly appealing in this field, as they promise to optimize complex multi-material mac…
A Minimal Developmental Model Can Increase Evolvability in Soft Robots
Sam Kriegman, Nick Cheney, Francesco Corucci +1
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 lifetim…
Scalable Co-Optimization of Morphology and Control in Embodied Machines
Nick Cheney, Josh Bongard, Vytas SunSpiral +1
Evolution sculpts both the body plans and nervous systems of agents together over time. In contrast, in AI and robotics, a robot's body plan is usually designed by hand, and contro…
