Researchers at Northwestern University developed an AI system that designed a functional walking robot in mere seconds, exemplifying the concept of accelerated evolution. Unlike many of its counterparts that rely on vast datasets and high-power computing, this AI runs on a standard PC and generates designs from scratch. Given the task to "Design a walking robot," it underwent various iterations, transforming a static block into an atypical three-legged form, highlighting its capability for slow and steady movement.
Key Facts:
Rapid Creation: Using a common laptop, the AI evolved a walking robot design from an immobile block to a moving entity in just 26 seconds, setting a new pace in robotic design.
Novel Designs: This AI system devises entirely original structures, yielding a peculiar yet efficient robot with three legs and a porous structure, devoid of human design biases.
Versatile Implications: The potential applications of such AI-conceived designs are extensive, encompassing potential future innovations in areas like crisis-response robots that can sift through rubble to find survivors or nanorobots designed for medical purposes inside the human body.
āWe discovered a very fast AI-driven design algorithm that bypasses the traffic jams of evolution, without falling back on the bias of human designers,ā said Northwesternās Sam Kriegman. āI call this process āinstant evolution.āā
Beyond its immediate achievement, this AI breakthrough could redefine how we envision design and innovation. Looking deeper, we see a glimpse into the future of robotics that doesn't necessarily require humans.

Promptboxās Top Trending AI Stories:
4-YEAR DEGREE
AI is transforming job hunting and skill development ā threatening to relegate four-year college degrees to the category of merely nice-to-have on your CV.
In AI-driven workplaces, employers will need to treat up-skilling investments as a "critical priority" rather than a perk, per a pitch LinkedIn executives made to 2,000 of the nation's top recruiters this week in New York City.
NEW FEATURES
Just one week after adding the ability to post, Artifact announced on Wednesday that users can now use AI to generate cover art for their content.
Up until recently, Artifact was an AI-powered news app from Instagramās co-founders that aggregated news and links around the internet. By adding the ability to directly share and personalize content, itās becoming even more of a rival to Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).
CONTROLLING AI
An organization dedicated to the safe development of artificial intelligence released a "breakthrough paper" it said will help humans better control the technology as it spreads.
the paper demonstrated ways humans can control and detect when AI systems are telling truths or lies, when they behave morally or immorally, whether they act with emotions such as anger, fear and joy, and how to make them less biased. The paper also looked at ways to develop systems that can resist jailbreaks.
AI POPSTAR
Noonoouri, a digital character created by German designer Joerg Zuber, is the latest blue-haired, doll-faced virtual influencer to land a record deal.
Created using motion capture and advanced graphics, she's been signed to Warner Music as its first avatar artist, rubbing shoulders (virtually) with Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Cardi B and Ashnikko at one of the industry's biggest labels.
INTELLIGENCE
Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son on Wednesday said he believes artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence within a decade, urging Japanese companies to adopt it or be left behind.
Son, speaking at a corporate conference in Tokyo, said āartificial general intelligence will surpass the total intelligence of humankind by 10 times in 10 years."
