New AI Algorithm Rapidly Evolves Robot Designs in Seconds
-
AI-based algorithm can rapidly design functional robots, evolving them in seconds rather than weeks.
-
Algorithm utilizes principles of natural evolution but knows in advance what traits will work.
-
As a test, algorithm designed a 3-legged walking robot from scratch in just 26 seconds.
-
Further developed, the technology could optimize robots for real-world tasks like disaster rescue.
-
AI enables creative new robot designs that humans may not have conceived of.
