Artificial Life and Robotics (2023)

For much of the history of robotics, robots have been built from inert, inorganic, bulk material, such as metals, plastics, and ceramics. However, advances in materials science are driving the development of soft robots made from increasingly exotic but still inorganic materials. Similarly, synthetic biology has recently provided the ability to build ‘biobots’ completely from biological materials. This is driven new use cases for mobile robots, but it is also allowing new questions to be posed about how both body plan and neural control jointly facilitate the evolution of intelligent behavior.
