I don't know if you understand this, but this actually means we can now build AT-AT walkers from star wars

now imagine the gain time of those of those dynamic algorithms applied to real robots :o

I do optimisation of technical systems with evolutionary algorithms for a living, but it´s power still amazes me.
For simple problems it even isnt that hard to programm. Every creationist should try it.

I've always wanted to see a videogame where the characters know how to move rather than just playing animation loops that are spliced together.

Humanoid walking on moon looks similar to actual moon walks

I guess they should have made the human models to swing their arms. I think that provides extra balance and momentum.

This is excellent, so many useful applications. First of all, it can apparently figure out how dinosaurs walked (and every other extinct creature). If it automatically discovered hopping, it's robust enough. Not to mention application to physical robots (maybe Asimo will finally walk without looking like he has to pee). I realize it's harder to do this in real life and they say they are doing it already, but it doesn't look that way yet.

And earlier generations walk like they are drunk. Apparenlty alcohol makes you de-evolve :)

3:23 troll, LOL! For some bizarre reason I want to pet them, ideal for allergic people.
