Exploration of designing simple mathematical rules to produce complex interactions. How can robots learn and generalize using simple rules?

  • exploring emergent behaviors in robotics and nature
  • need to find mathematical rules for emergent behavior, especially in robots interacting in dynamic environments
  • how can robots learn and generalize like a baby? mix of nature (genetic encoding) and nurture (environment)
  • looking at natural systems for inspiration, like ant colonies - simple individual actions leading to complex group behavior
  • building some intuition by studying conway's game of life for patterns from simple rules... although it's quite mesmerizing lol
  • thinking about applying these concepts to physical robots - how they learn, adapt, and make decisions based on environment and interactions with people
