AI's Lightning-Fast Robot Design Skills Unveiled

Scientists at Northwestern University used an advanced design algorithm powered by AI to create a walking robot in just 26 seconds. The robot, although not the most futuristic-looking, features internal muscles that inflate with air to propel it forward. The algorithm went through 10 attempts before producing the final design, which showcased the AI's ability to create new possibilities and paths forward that humans may not have considered. The researchers see potential applications for practical robots and nanorobots in various fields.
