项目摘要

It is unclear how certain future, and probably current, systems can be robustly designed using traditional techniques. For example, the lost Beagle 2 Mars probe illustrated that it is still very difficult to design systems able to cope with unforeseen circumstances. Development is nature's answer to this complexity crisis and is therefore an important and potentially useful avenue of study. In addition, if we are to deal with systems operating in complex dynamical environments, where the environment has significant effects on the operation and structure of the system, development appears the only realistic way forward. Developmental methods also give strong characteristics that enable biological systems to be adaptable to changing circumstances (environment for example) and enable them to be fault-tolerant. These are features we would like to see in our engineered systems. Unconstrained evolution combined with development will prove to be a powerful technique for future system design and implementation. Very recent work has shown that developmental designs can possess a large degree of self-repair even when it wasn't demanded in the initial specification . This project will use unconstrained evolution and development to automatically design hardware capable of autonomous tasks. The system will be evaluated with complexity as a major consideration and in particular, a study of its scaling properties will be made. The engineering outcome of this will be adaptable, efficient, fault-tolerant systems suitable for future technology. The scientific outcome of this will be data on artificial evolution working in a previously unknown manner, thus helping fundamental research into the origin of biological life and the creation of artificial life.

目前还不清楚如何使用传统技术来稳健地设计某些未来的（可能是当前的）系统。例如，丢失的小猎犬2号火星探测器表明，设计能够科普不可预见情况的系统仍然非常困难。发展是大自然对这一复杂性危机的回答，因此是一个重要的和潜在的有用的研究途径。此外，如果我们要处理在复杂的动态环境中运作的系统，而环境对系统的运作和结构有重大影响，发展似乎是唯一现实的前进道路。发展方法也赋予了生物系统强大的特性，使其能够适应不断变化的环境（例如环境），并使其能够容错。这些都是我们希望在我们的工程系统中看到的功能。无约束进化与开发相结合将被证明是未来系统设计和实现的一种强大技术。最近的研究表明，开发设计可以拥有很大程度的自我修复，即使在最初的规范中没有要求。该项目将使用无约束的进化和开发来自动设计能够自主任务的硬件。该系统将进行评估的复杂性作为一个主要的考虑因素，特别是，其缩放特性的研究将作出。这一工程成果将是适应性强、高效、容错的系统，适用于未来的技术。这一研究的科学成果将是关于以一种以前未知的方式工作的人工进化的数据，从而有助于对生物生命起源和人工生命的创造进行基础研究。
