10 robots automatic design of basic shapes Evolutionary design of robots Difficult to reach high complexities necessary for practical engineering Karl Sims and Jordan Pollack, Hod Lipson, Gregory Hornby, and Pablo Funes claim that for automatic design to scale in complexity it must employ re-used modules generative representation to encode individuals in the population. Indirect representation: an algorithm for creating a design. using Lindenmayer systems (L-systems) evolved locomotiong robots (called genobots).

11 Hertzian modeling paradigm Modeling the World The most direct and in a sense the most important problem which our conscious knowledge of nature should enable us to solve is the anticipation of future events, so that we may arrange our present affairs in accordance with such anticipation. (Hertz, 1894) Model Symbols (Images) Initial Conditions Formal Rules (syntax) Logical Consequence of Model Predicted Result???? Observed Result (Pragmatics) Encoding (Semantics) Measure Measure World 1 Physical Laws World

12 Models or realistic imitations? L-systems Common features (design principle) between artificial and real plants Development of (macro-level) morphology from local (micro-level) logic Parallel application of simple rules Genetic vs. algorithmic Recursion But are the algorithms the same? Real organisms need to economize information for coding complex phenotypes The genome cannot encode every ripple of the brain or lungs Organisms need to encode compact procedures for producing the same pattern (with randomness) again and again But recursion alone does not explain form and morphogenesis One of the design principles involved There are others Selection, genetic variation, self-organization, epigenetics fern gametophyte Microsorium linguaeforme (left) and a simulated model using map L systems (right).

13 exploring similarities across nature Natural design principles self-similar structures Trees, plants, clouds, mountains morphogenesis Mechanism Iteration, recursion, feedback Dynamical Systems and Unpredictability From limited knowledge or inherent in nature? Mechanism Chaos, measurement Collective behavior, emergence, and self-organization Complex behavior from collectives of many simple units or agents cellular automata, ant colonies, development, morphogenesis, brains, immune systems, economic markets Mechanism Parallelism, multiplicity, multi-solutions, redundancy Adaptation Evolution, learning, social evolution Mechanism Reproduction, transmission, variation, selection, Turing s tape Network causality (complexity) Behavior derived from many inseparable sources Environment, embodiment, epigenetics, culture Mechanism Modularity, connectivity, stigmergy

14 bodies in motion dynamical systems Mathematical models of systems containing the rules describing the way some quantity undergoes a change in time What changes in time a variable Position, quantity, concentration How does something change in time Deterministic rules that define change Set of differential equations defining rates of change
