AI Creates Functional Walking Robot in Seconds
TL;DR Summary
Researchers from Northwestern University have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm capable of designing robots from scratch. The AI was given a prompt to design a robot that can walk across a flat surface and within seconds, it generated a blueprint for a crude "robot" that could jiggle in place. Through multiple iterations, the AI improved the design, resulting in a robot capable of shuffling across a flat surface. The entire design process took around 26 seconds and the AI was run on an ordinary laptop. The researchers believe that AI-designed robots could have various applications in the future.
