Artificial life and embodied robotics: Current issues and future challenges

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we explore some of the issues currently facing researchers in the interface between the twin fields of Artificial Life and Robotics, and the challenges and potential synergy of these two areas in the creation of future robotic life forms. There are three strands of research we feel will be of key importance in the possible development of future embodied artificial life forms. These are the areas of evolutionary robotics, and evolutionary humanoid robotics in particular, probabilistic robotics for deliberation, and robot benchmarking with associated metrics and standards. We explore each of these areas in turn focusing on our current research in each field and what we see as the potential issues and challenges for the future.
