Researchers at Northwestern University have made a groundbreaking achievement in artificial intelligence (AI). They developed an AI-based system that can autonomously design robots from scratch. In a ...

The AI-designed robot has three legs, rear fins, a flat face and is riddled with holes — something a human engineer would never conceive. Inventor of xenobots unveils new advance toward artificial ...

Evolution is a very slow process, due largely to the fact that nature doesn't "know" in advance which features of an animal will be beneficial. A new AI-based algorithm does know, however, allowing it ...

Most robots have fixed body designs that cannot adapt to new environments or survive damage, making them fragile outside controlled settings. Researchers used AI-driven evolution and Lego-like modular ...
