Evolutionary Robotics

Evolutionary robotics is a field that uses principles from biological evolution to develop and improve robotic systems. By simulating processes like natural selection, robots are "bred" by selecting the best performing designs and functions, then combining and mutating them over many generations. This approach helps create robots that can adapt, learn, and perform complex tasks more efficiently. Essentially, it leverages evolution-inspired algorithms to discover innovative solutions for robotic movement, behavior, and problem-solving, allowing systems to evolve their abilities much like species adapt to their environments in nature.
