Evolving soft robots with multiple materials (muscle, bone, etc.)

Published on Apr 4, 2013

Here we evolve the bodies of soft robots made of multiple materials (muscle, bone, & support tissue) to move quickly. Evolution produces a diverse array of fun, wacky, interesting, but ultimately functional soft robots. Enjoy!
