Combating catastrophic forgetting with developmental compression
Shawn L. E. Beaulieu, Sam Kriegman, Josh C. Bongard
Generally intelligent agents exhibit successful behavior across problems in several settings. Endemic in approaches to realize such intelligence in machines is catastrophic forgett…
Interoceptive robustness through environment-mediated morphological development
Sam Kriegman, Nick Cheney, Francesco Corucci +1
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 architectu…
Morphology dictates a robot's ability to ground crowd-proposed language
Zahra Mahoor, Jack Felag, Josh Bongard
As more robots act in physical proximity to people, it is essential to ensure they make decisions and execute actions that align with human values. To do so, robots need to underst…
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…
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…
