In the past, evolved virtual creatures (EVCs) have been developed with rigid, articulated bodies, and with soft bodies, but never before with a combination of the two. In nature, however, creatures combining a rigid skeleton and non-rigid muscles are some of the most complex and successful examples of life on earth. Now, for the first time, creatures with fully evolved rigid-body skeletons and ...

" Perception and choice are the products of context dependent and comparative evaluation mechanisms that can be systematic and predictable, but that do not readily lend themselves to analyses that assume consistency, independence and invariance. "-Eldar Shafir Eldar Shafir's paper powerfully reinforces the notion that we are indeed different creatures from what much economics supposed. To cite ...

Suppose we could build creatures with intelligence comparable to our own, who by design want to do tasks we find unpleasant. May we build such creatures? This is the central question I wish to examine. Before we turn to my answer and its defense, though, I’d like briefly to consider something philosophers typically do not stop to consider: namely, why we might ask the question in the first plac...

In this paper we describe our attempt to create a nature-like simulation model of artificial creatures. The model includes physical simulation of creatures, their interaction with the environment, their neural network control, and both directed and open-ended evolution. We describe a complex, three-dimensional simulation system, where various fitness criteria can be selected for evolving specie...

Erregai fosilen errekuntzek eragindako klima aldaketa pairatzea da egungo gizartearen erronka nagusietariko bat. Errekuntza hauek isuritako berotegi-efektuko gasen artean ugariena karbono dioxidoa (CO2) da, hauen % 75 inguru. Beraz, honen emisioak murriztea eta dagoeneko isuritakoa bahitzea ezinbestekoa klimaaldaketak ingurumen-kaltea ahalik gehien murrizteko. Horretarako, ezinbestekoak dira CC...
