New robot capable of evolution

Experts from the University of Norway created a robot that can move on four legs on uneven surfaces - sand, snow, ice. The car was named DyRET.

Due to the fact that DyRET is able to learn from its mistakes, it quickly adapts to new conditions. Studying various angles of inclination, falling and rising, the artificial intelligence system summarizes information. The resulting database is subjected to independent analysis, after which an updated strategy is developed that is more effective in a particular area.

After the new surface is mastered, work on reducing energy intensity begins. With a fully charged battery, the robot moves intensively, taking wide and confident steps. If the energy is running out, the steps become shorter, but frequent.

It can be said that the DyREY robot is an evolving model. Its evolution occurs in the process of studying various scenarios and choosing the optimal one.

The development of robots capable of evolution can, at times, facilitate the work of programmers who spend months and years updating existing models.

A popular model among self-learning machines is the BAXTER robot arm. He can independently grab objects, regardless of their weight and shape.
