With a single 3D printing process, a “living” micro-robot can achieve twisting, stretching, contracting, and rotating? This is precisely what a new study from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has achieved. The 3D printed micro-robots can autonomously walk, perceive their environment, and navigate independently, filling the gap in the application of additive manufacturing … Read more
Originally published on Machine Heart Edited by Wei Pang and Dan Jiang Inspired by the evolutionary design of nature, the automation of robot design using evolutionary algorithms has been attempted for twenty years, but efficiency remains low. Now, from a soap-like substance to a successfully walking robot, the entire design process using AI on a … Read more
