Despite its unassuming appearance, this gelatinous little 'insta-robot' heralds AI's ability to compress eons of evolutionary learning into mere seconds.
To the ordinary eye, McCormick Prof. Sam Kriegman’s robot may look like a glob of purple rubber. But despite its small size and unfinished appearance, the 6-inch creature is the product of an artificial intelligence program capable of designing robots entirely on its own. Kriegman’s research is based in evolutionary robotics, a field that uses...
The AI program runs on a lightweight personal computer and designs wholly novel structures from scratch.
Researchers from Northwestern University created an AI algorithm that can build robots off of user prompts. For demo purposes, the AI was able to build a functioning robot in under 30 seconds.
McCormick Prof. Sam Kriegman and his lab assistant David Matthews recently developed a one-of-a-kind artificial intelligence program that builds a robot in seconds. This program is the first AI to be able to intelligently design other robots. The pair spoke with The Daily about their groundbreaking work, describing what is at the root of this...
