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…
How morphological development can guide evolution
Sam Kriegman, Nick Cheney, Josh Bongard
Organisms result from adaptive processes interacting across different time scales. One such interaction is that between development and evolution. Models have shown that developmen…
Crowdsourcing Predictors of Residential Electric Energy Usage
Mark D. Wagy, Josh C. Bongard, James P. Bagrow +1
Crowdsourcing has been successfully applied in many domains including astronomy, cryptography and biology. In order to test its potential for useful application in a Smart Grid con…
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…
Evolving Spatially Aggregated Features from Satellite Imagery for Regional Modeling
Sam Kriegman, Marcin Szubert, Josh C. Bongard +1
Satellite imagery and remote sensing provide explanatory variables at relatively high resolutions for modeling geospatial phenomena, yet regional summaries are often desirable for…
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…
