Algorithm Uses Evolution To Design Robots

Cars That Think

To accomplish tasks, they need both a well-designed body and a “brain,” or controller. Engineers can use various simulations to improve a robot’s control and make it smarter. But there are few ways to optimize a robot’s design at the same time. Unless the designer is an algorithm. The same is true for robots.
