If a numerical model simulating 25,000 generations of evolution within computers is to be believed, Cornell University engineering and robotics researchers may have discovered why biological networks tend to be organized as modules – a finding that will lead to a deeper understanding of the evolution of complexity. And they say it will help evolve artificial intelligence. Robot brains with the grace and cunning of animals? What could go wrong? read more
