Y’all might also enjoy the GOLEM project: http://www.demo.cs.brandeis.edu/golem/ It’s of a similar age and goals, but evolved physical creatures with a screensaver. I ran that screensaver as a middle schooler and happened to work with Prof. Lipson at the Computational Synthesis Lab in college. Like other posters here, I feel genetic algorithms got a bit overshadowed by neural networks. Circa 2010, GA’s were capable of some real feats that still seem cutting edge today: deriving the full set of differential equations of metabolism for a bacteria, self-modeling through exploration, finding fundamental laws of physics by watching a double pendulum video, and more. A ton of good came out of that lab, including a big part of modern open-source 3d printing (which was originally pursued to print the multi-material GOLEM robots!) |
