GOLEM项目试图通过进化各种可以自动制造的机电机器（机器人），将进化技术扩展到物理世界。在这项工作中，我们超越了硬件控制器的演变，并首次展示了一条允许将形态的虚拟多样性转移到现实中的路径。我们的方法是基于在设计和实施例中仅使用基本构建块。我们描述了一组初步的实验发展机电系统组成的热塑性塑料，线性执行器和神经元的任务的运动，首先在模拟，然后在现实中。使用3D固体打印，这些生物然后自动复制到现实中，在那里它们忠实地再现了它们虚拟祖先的表现。
The GOLEM project is an attempt to extend evolutionary techniques into the physical world by evolving diverse electro-mechanical machines (robots) that can be fabricated automatically. In this work we go beyond evolution of hardware controllers and demonstrate for the first time a path that allows transfer of virtual diversity of morphology into reality. Our approach is based on the use of only elementary building blocks in both the design and embodiment. We describe a set of preliminary experiments evolving electromechanical systems composed of thermoplastic, linear actuators and neurons for the task of locomotion, first in simulation then in reality. Using 3D solid printing, these creatures then replicate automatically into reality where they faithfully reproduce the performance of their virtual ancestors.
