AI System Designs Walking Robot From Scratch in Seconds

Researchers trained an AI system to design a robot capable of walking on flat ground when simply prompted to do so.

The AI generated a blueprint for a rudimentary walking robot within seconds.

The blueprint was 3D printed into a spongey, formless robot that could mimic walking motions.

The AI system designed the robot completely from scratch without human bias or existing blueprints.

Researchers believe this demonstrates an ability to automatically generate novel, functional robot designs that could lead to new technologies.
