Soft robotics is a rapidly growing area of robotics research that would benefit greatly from
design automation, given the challenges of manually engineering complex, compliant, and …

We propose a method to reproduce dynamic appearance textures with space-stationary but
time-varying visual statistics. While most previous work decomposes dynamic textures into …

As AI systems become increasingly powerful, the need for safe AI has become more
pressing. Humans are an attractive model for AI safety: as the only known agents capable of …

The research field of Artificial Life studies how life-like phenomena such as autopoiesis,
agency, or self-regulation can self-organize in computer simulations. In cellular automata …

Plants, fungi, humans and all other multicellular organisms go through the same process of
growing step by step. Starting as a single cell with a genome containing all the genetic …

Morphogenesis is the biological process by which an organism grows and takes its form. It is
responsible for the growth and shape of all living things and has historically been studied …

Complex systems are very hard to predict and control due to their chaotic dynamics and
open-ended outcomes. However, understanding and harnessing the underlying …
