Selecting Continuous Life-Like Cellular Automata for Halting Unpredictability: Evolving for Abiogenesis
Q. Tyrell Davis, Josh Bongard
Substantial efforts have been applied to engineer CA with desired emergent properties, such as supporting gliders. Recent work in continuous CA has generated a wide variety of comp…
Step Size is a Consequential Parameter in Continuous Cellular Automata
Q. Tyrell Davis, Josh Bongard
Step size in continuous cellular automata (CA) plays an important role in the stability and behavior of self-organizing patterns. Continous CA dynamics are defined by formula very…
Glaberish: Generalizing the continuously-valued Lenia framework to arbitrary Life-like cellular automata
Q. Tyrell Davis, Josh Bongard
Recent work with Lenia, a continuously-valued cellular automata (CA) framework, has yielded 100s of compelling, bioreminiscent and mobile patterns. Lenia can be viewed as a c…
A good body is all you need: avoiding catastrophic interference via agent architecture search
Joshua Powers, Ryan Grindle, Lapo Frati +1
In robotics, catastrophic interference continues to restrain policy training across environments. Efforts to combat catastrophic interference to date focus on novel neural architec…
Scale invariant robot behavior with fractals
Sam Kriegman, Amir Mohammadi Nasab, Douglas Blackiston +4
Robots deployed at orders of magnitude different size scales, and that retain the same desired behavior at any of those scales, would greatly expand the environments in which the r…
Scalable sim-to-real transfer of soft robot designs
Sam Kriegman, Amir Mohammadi Nasab, Dylan Shah +5
The manual design of soft robots and their controllers is notoriously challenging, but it could be augmented---or, in some cases, entirely replaced---by automated design tools. Mac…
