I completely agree, fascinating video and concept. I don’t have any more information on the project unfortunatley, just came across it on youtube when searching robotic projects.
It’s interesting the method that the robot has ‘learnt’ for moving around. Would be interesting also if they took it another step further and let it find the most efficient way of moving…
Almost bordering on being the most reasonable way of developing an AI? as in, looking at inputs in relation to outputs, and trying to make sense of what it is recieving.
Its gait may not be evil robot, but its certainly kind of starfish?..
