Abstract
I recently gave a robot demonstration to a class of 1st-grade elementary school children. In the school’s gymnasium hall, a few dozen 6-year-olds gathered enthusiastically around a few shiny machines with plenty of sensors and actuators, demonstrating patterns of locomotion. “These robots learned how to move by themselves” – I explained. “Some even developed their own shape”, I said, pointing at a set of 3D-printed plastic robots whose morphology and control evolved in simulation.
