[Bio-Inspired Machines]
Having studied Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems at the University of Sussex and having been influenced by people such as I. Harvey or P. Husbands, I strongly stand behind the bio-inspired computing movement.As a result of evolution, the nature is a great self-sustaining system that we still cannot comprehend fully but certainly gives good hints towards how to manage sensorimotor control and how to tackle adaptivity and survival. While the majority of current machines are built on purely human-devised principles and are therefore unnatural and limited, I think that we can create true artificial life and integrate our machines with the nature in the future, not only by using more green-friendly materials but also by making the machines behave like living organisms.
