Designing Systems to Design Themselves
Abstract
Reconfigurable systems have many benefits over single-purpose machines but there are many obstacles to their widespread implementation. We describe roBlocks, a reconfigurable robotic construction kit, and the Erstwhile Agent, an evolutionary design system and discuss extensions that would enable them to design improvements to themselves, and also their eventual replacements.
