Self-evolving robot "coming out" future or used in automobile manufacturing or agriculture

British and Swiss scientists have worked together to develop a robotic system that evolves itself and continuously improves performance. Their ultimate goal is to develop robots that can adapt to the surrounding environment, and these robots can be used in automotive or agricultural fields in the future.

According to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported on August 12 (Beijing time), in the new system, a "mother" robotic arm built some "baby" robots. These "babies" consist of plastic cubes with a motor inside. The â€œmotherâ€ evaluates the speed of the â€œbabyâ€ and improves its design without human intervention. The next time it builds a robot that moves faster and moves further.

The "mother" robot built ten generations of "baby" robots, and the last generation of "baby" robots moved twice as far as the first generation of "baby" robots. The latest research is published in the journal Science Public LibraryÂ·Comprehensive.

The research leader, Lida Yuxi of Cambridge University, said that one of the goals of the system was to further clarify the evolution of biology. "One of the biggest problems in biology is how intelligence develops and when. We want to use robotics to solve this mystery." He continued, "At present, robots are always performing repetitive tasks, and they are mainly for Designed for mass production rather than mass customization. We want robots to be innovative and creative."

Another researcher, Andrew Rosendo, said that another goal of the study was to develop robots that could improve themselves and adapt to the new environment. "In the future, such robots can be widely used in automobile manufacturing or agriculture: robots look for defects in cars and repair them by themselves; try different harvesting methods to increase crop yields."

Lida Yu Yu explained that he did this research because the robots he saw in real life were not as good as the robots seen in science fiction or science fiction movies like Star Wars and Star Trek. . He hopes to take inspiration from nature to improve the efficiency and adaptability of traditional robot systems, thus changing the status quo. However, those who are worried that the robot will take over the whole world need not worry, at least not at the moment.

Evolution is attributed to the ability of intelligent systems to self-improve. Robots must be able to self-replicate, and let the progeny replicas be â€œblue and blue than blueâ€, which is a biological evolution. Only then can future generations adapt to the environment and ensure life. continue. Therefore, the "mother" robot in this article makes the "baby" method, which is not a replica of itself. It is more like an experiment that simulates the assembly of a car in the laboratory, and tries to find the optimal solution through continuous trial and error. Therefore, this should be more attributed to the field of machine learning capabilities than to the concept of evolution.
