| Abstract |
Future robots will have more complex tasks and will be built of more complex materials than we see for today's robots. We envision that robots will make use of automatic design and learning processes to adapt to new and unforeseen situations. For example, maybe future robots may be able to 3D print body parts for repairing themselves, or for adjusting to a new environment.
At the Robotics and Intelligent Systems group at the University of Oslo, we are interested in how we can apply evolutionary algorithms and other bio-inspired methods to tackle these challenges, and I will present some work we have done on automatically co-designing robot bodies and shapes. |
