Evolutionary Robotics reveals how principles of natural evolution are transforming the way we design and build intelligent machines. Instead of being engineered piece by piece, robots can now be evolved in simulation and the real world, developing bodies and brains that adapt to their environments. The result: robots that are resilient, creative, and often surprising in their solutions.
Inside, you will learn how scientists and engineers use evolutionary algorithms, neural controllers, and adaptive morphologies to create robots that can walk, fly, cooperate in swarms, and even develop entirely new behaviors. The book explores key breakthroughs, real-world applications, and the deeper implications for artificial intelligence, adaptation, and the nature of life itself.
Written for an interdisciplinary audience, Evolutionary Robotics balances accessible explanations with insights from cutting-edge research, making it essential reading for anyone curious about the future of robotics, AI, and artificial life.
This book is the book 4 of the series 'Cognitive Robotics' .
