Bipedal locomotion requires precise rhythm and balance. Here we demonstrate two fitness-function enhancements applied to OpenAI?s 3D Humanoid-v1 walking task using a replica of Salimans et al.?s evolution strategy (Salimans et al., 2017). The first e...

Geb was the first artificial life system to be classified as exhibiting open-ended evolutionary dynamics according to Bedau and Packard’s evolutionary activity measures and is the only one to have been classified as such according to the enhanced ver...

Nature's spectacular inventiveness, reflected in the enormous diversity of form and function displayed by the biosphere, is a feature of life that distinguishes living most strongly from nonliving. It is, therefore, not surprising that this aspect of... Read More about An Overview of Open-Ended Evolution: Editorial Introduction to the Open-Ended Evolution II Special Issue..
