The Autonomous (re)Production, Learning and Bio-inspired Robotics workshop was held in the historic city of York. The workshop highlighted emerging trends and future directions in the field of robotics and featured invited position papers from world-leading researchers across the field, and a range of reviewed papers. Papers focused on the potential for future developments within the field of bio-inspired robotics and autonomous design and manufacture.
The papers addressed areas such as:
- Novel methods for simultaneous evolution of morphology and control
- Novel methods for facilitating learning and adaptation during lifetime
- Evolution of learnability in a robot population
- Investigating the balance between morphological intelligence and brain intelligence
- Robot evolution in hardware
- Evolution of morphologies using novel materials
- Simulation of soft robots
- Closing the reality gap
- Evolving behavioural/morphological diversity within a robotic eco-system
- Issues related to manufacturability and viability of robotic genotypes
- Surrogate methods for fitness evaluations
