Morphological Computation

Morphological computation refers to how the design and physical structure of a robot or organism naturally assist in performing tasks, reducing the need for complex control systems. Instead of relying solely on electronic commands, the shape, materials, and movement of its body help it adapt and respond efficiently to the environment. For example, a simple fish relies on its body shape and fin design to navigate and move smoothly, rather than constantly calculating every movement. This approach leverages physical properties to simplify control, making systems more robust, efficient, and adaptive.
