Amazing post thanks Mark. ________________________________ From: Mark Heuymans <atha...@casema.nl> To: Reallist <user-list@light.realsoft3d.com> Sent: Fri, 19 February, 2010 10:07:20 AM Subject: artificial evolution Stumbled upon this, about evolutionary simulated bodypart control http://www.ted.com/talks/torsten_reil_studies_biology_to_make_animation.html Reil was probably inspired by Karl Sims http://www.karlsims..com/ John Holland is also a pioneer in the field. Imagine something like this: Chrono controls the bodyparts. Chrono is controlled by a brain/actuator system that has 'learned' how to perform the 'task' optimally. The brain is all Javascript, including the evolutionary part... just a wild thought ;) -Mark H
