13.08 17:36 British scientists have created a robot that can evolve and educate offspring – Social control

Thus, the machines have become the most similar to the behavior of biological organisms

Scientists at Cambridge University have created the first robots that are able to evolve naturally and educate offspring. This follows from a scientific article published in the journal PLoS ONE.

Experts have created a unique car, which was called “mechanical mother.” She stirred and laying special cubes with small motorchikami inside, when combined form a kind of robot children.

During testing, “mechanical mother” alone has contributed to the design of small cubes changes, selecting with the “children” who moved faster and better than others. Thus, after ten generations of children bots their speed increased from 2.8 to 6.7 cm / s.

Scientists hope that in the near future, this technology will be the basis for the development of thinking robots.
