It was only last month that futurists Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking warned
about the dangers of intelligent machines, and a new research project
led by the University of Cambridge won't do much to put their minds at
ease. Scientists have created a mother robot that can not only build its
own children robots, but mimic the process of natural selection to
improve their capabilities with each generation.
The process begins with a robotic arm and a set of five
plastic cubes with motors inside. Each cube features a unique "genome"
made up of a combination of between one and five genes. This genome
gives each cube its own set of attributes, relating to its shape,
construction and motor commands.
