CNR 2015: Lectures: Sebastian Risi (GER): Bio-inspired, Automated Design of Machine Bodies and Artificial Brains
He has won several best paper awards at GECCO and IJCNN for his work on adaptive systems and the HyperNEAT algorithm for evolving complex artificial neural networks. He also co-founded FinchBeak, a company that creates casual and educational social games enabled by evolutionary AI technology.
Abstract:
Understanding the essential properties of natural evolution that
made it possible to discover highly complex systems can help to
create a new generation of autonomous, self-organizing and adaptive
machines.
In this talk, he will show how novel bio-inspired technologies allow for the creation of more brain-like neural networks with regularities and repeating motifs, and enable the automated design of reusable robot morphologies. This talk will also introduce recent work on how to best exploit human intuition and to combine human and machine design capabilities to facilitate the creation of complex structures.
The ultimate goal of this research is to narrow the gap between artificial and natural systems, with applications in artificial brains, robot morphologies, games, music and design.
