Efficient automatic design of robots
David Matthews, Andrew Spielberg, Daniela Rus +2
Robots are notoriously difficult to design because of complex interdependencies between their physical structure, sensory and motor layouts, and behavior. Despite this, almost ever…
Universal Mechanical Polycomputation in Granular Matter
Atoosa Parsa, Sven Witthaus, Nidhi Pashine +3
Unconventional computing devices are increasingly of interest as they can operate in environments hostile to silicon-based electronics, or compute in ways that traditional electron…
Selection for short-term empowerment accelerates the evolution of homeostatic neural cellular automata
Caitlin Grasso, Josh Bongard
Empowerment -- a domain independent, information-theoretic metric -- has previously been shown to assist in the evolutionary search for neural cellular automata (NCA) capable of ho…
