There is still time to submit to the Virtual Creatures Competition! 🤓 Prize: $250, exclusive branded merchandise, and an exciting opportunity for a job interview with a stealth R&D entity focusing on artificial life and virtual creatures at scale. sites.google.com/view/vcc-2024
New preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… "Revealing non-trivial information structures in aneural biological tissues via functional connectivity" @DougBlackiston, Hannah Dromiack, @csgrasso10, @ThosVarley, Douglas Moore, Krishna Shrinivasan, @spornslab, @DoctorJosh, @Sara_Imari…
Looking to hire a postdoc to do AI-designed biology with @drmichaellevin and myself. Please RT; DM if interested. Here's what happened the last time we teamed up: youtube.com/watch?v=8WyWFA…
The Virtual Creatures Competition has a new judge confirmed: Ricard Solé. Are you ready to submit? 🤓 #vcc24 sites.google.com/view/vcc-2024
Four distinguished judges have been confirmed for the Virtual Creatures Competition this year. Do you want them to know your work? Get ready to submit!🤓 sites.google.com/view/vcc-2024
The next Virtual Creatures Competition will be held at ALife 24 (Copenhagen). Are you up for the challenge? Join the competition and make the new virtual generation begin! Deadline: 10th of June 2024. sites.google.com/view/vcc-2024
For 29 years, AI-driven robot design has required weeks on a supercomputer. Today, in #PNAS, we report how modern AI can design robots in 30 seconds, on a laptop. Joint work w/ David Matthews, Andrew Spielberg, Daniela Rus, and Sam Kriegman (@Kriegmerica)
#xenobots are AI-designed organisms. But what if next-gen biobots can't be designed by AI? Introducing ADS's: AI-designed swarms! @PiperRWelch will be presenting this, her new work, at #ALife2023 on Tuesday. Joint work w/ @csgrasso10, @GizemGumuskaya and @drmichaellevin.
How can #robot swarms work together safely? @csgrasso10 has found that they need to push against their neighbors in diverse ways, and get pushed back by them in reliable ways, *quickly*. Come see her describe this at @GeccoConf today. And vote for this, a best paper contender!
"Selection for short-term empowerment accelerates the evolution of homeostatic neural cellular automata" New preprint from PhD student @csgrasso10 & faculty member @DoctorJosh arxiv.org/abs/2305.15220
And this very cool preprint from @DoctorJosh and @csgrasso10 : arxiv.org/abs/2305.15220 "Selection for short-term empowerment accelerates the evolution of homeostatic neural cellular automata"
On Wed @IEEERoboSoft, come check out our work on Autotomic robots, which "subtract to adapt". Joint work led by @RiveSunder; supported by @TheFaboratory members Stephanie Woodman, Melanie Landesberg, and Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio. #Robosoft2023 youtu.be/rm_N4FvrOwU
If you missed @MedhaGoyal and @ParsaAtoosa's presentation of our work on evolved variable stiffness sheets at #Robosoft2023 today, here's the summary video. Joint work w/ @TheFaboratory. youtu.be/wesA0f5ZxH4
Our 3 @GeccoConf papers were accepted! First: @csgrasso10 shows that cells struggle to grow to a target shape (green) if they are evolved to do only that (top), compared to cells also evolved to wrestle their neighbors into submission *quickly* (bottom). youtu.be/yFIE8reYBpc
Go @PiperRWelch! 🥳
The first cohort of AI2050 Early Career Fellows (those most likely to create beneficial AI in the years to come) was just announced. Sam Kriegman (@Kriegmerica)---former lab member, @uvmvermont PhD student, and xenobot team member---is among them. Couldn't be prouder.

Wanted to apply to this year's virtual creatures competition but thought you'd missed the deadline? Good news! The deadline is now extended until the 14th June! all the details you need in this link: sites.google.com/view/vcc2022/h… Happy creating!
The 3rd of our 3 upcoming @GeccoConf pubs: @csgrasso10 shows that Neural Cellular Automata evolved to homeostat and be empowered* are better at homeostasis than NCAs evolved only to homeostat. *cells can influence other cells distant in space and time arxiv.org/abs/2205.06771
Love virtual creatures as much as @sina_lana, @Kriegmerica @csgrasso10 and I? Consider submitting to the 2022 virtual creatures competition & . All the details are on our website sites.google.com/view/vcc2022/h…
Our 2nd of 3 @GeccoConf papers: Evolving metamaterials to exhibit "computational superposition": Red acts like AND and XOR at the same time... ...but at different frequencies. Green and blue particles are inputs. Vibration=1; no vibration=0. arxiv.org/abs/2204.08651
