- featherless - biped Behold, a MAN!

You've risen to Science Diagrams That Look Like Shitposts fame!

if they made sounds when they walked do you think they'd go "womp womp womp womp" or "hoing hoing hoing hoing"

Wow, this presentation is actually brilliantly entertaining. These creatures are too adorable. I think the way they trot on their pointy feet makes my brain happy.

his name is tetrahenry and i love him

Having a penalty to erratic movement/output is something I've wanted to see people do in alife/AI for a while now. When you watch people doing AI toy examples or getting an AI to play some game, said AI is constantly jittering back and forth, probably from some tiny perturbations in the input causing radical changes in the output that just happen to still get it where it is supposed to go.

A tremendously lucid explanation - if you’re teaching, your students are very lucky. Wonderful video.

Thank you Algorithm. This is 3Blue1Brown levels of quality content. Subbed

why is this funny as hell

Your "chicken" tet reminds me of Diogenes' "man" but inverted. You explain the essential attributes of a chicken, then present something that has all those attributes but obviously isn't a chicken.

there's something so elegant about watching a triangular prism do a little jog

i understand a total of 5 words in this video but i like the funny little shape guys

Now just get a swarm of these chasing you

This is how Plato saw the world

Octopuses can walk. Got it

Feeling honored to be chosen by the algorithm!

What you mentioned about walking motion being less about direct neural control and more about the natural physical dynamics of the motion was fascinating. It has so many implications regarding hand-eye coordination that I hadn't thought about. Cool stuff!

I hadnt thought of Sodaplay in like 20 years, great video

So cute! I like how the little one falls on his “butt” at 10:40. Reminds me of a kid!

God this video has so much meme potential 9:36 my body, on 7 cups of coffee, giving up after powering through entire nights to finally finish a month long assignment thats due in 3 days.

All that tech talk and not enough demo of their gaits. Fascinating model!

Amazing video, deserves much more attention!

It's cool but Karl Sims was doing this stuff in the 90s. I remember perusing his website in the mid 2000s, it was a great place for young geniuses

I’m absolutely obsessed with the way these little guys move, the whole design of them is cool af, watched the whole thing with a big dumb grin on my face

Loved watching this! Thank you!

Fascinating! Wonderful work!

THEY ARE SO CUTE this is so cool!!! incredible video

This was such a wonderful video to be recommended!

Excellent material and great work!

This is sick

Hell yeah I'm glad you exist, this shit is my jam

Amazing video, deserves more views Thank you !

Fantastic job, really interesting and clear.

"Do me up a theoretical AI thingy that walks like it crapped its pants, fam."

wow. brilliantly done.

This video reminds me of CaryKH's 2d version of this, evolution simulator. He also made a 3d version but it only made tetrahedral creatures

Great presentation!!!

very good explanator and very good summary

Crazy Content, Bro's gonna blow up !!

this is incredible!!!

Cool this looks really nice can I have a link to the article please

Amazing video

walking is more like falling and repeatedly catching yourself

wow thats really interesting, really intuitive way to think about evolution.

Very nice!

Amazing video so glad the algorithm showed me this

3:57 best thing I've seen today

A missed bit of available movement I noticed: Harmonics of the main frequency can still be in phase with the overall motion, and open the way for complex gaits. For instance, if I want to make a figure eight movement, I move with one frequency in one direction, and double of it in another.

Amazing! I mourn the loss of all the bipeds that didn't make it.

this should have more views it's so cool

Technically, there are mentions of vestibular tortion in this paper.

Love this

not a joke, give some a tail. many bipeds use tails as a counter balance

great stuff!

instantly awesome vid after hearing the frggin sound effects at the start??!!

The algorithm is always listening. 😅 A penny here, sone location data there, a dev document or two thrown in the hopper and then it say oh yeah, I was supposed to show you this give days ago but you were busy and you sat your project down for a while but hey, now that you're back at it, check out this dude. Oh, remenber how you used to buildnhets and helicopters? Want to see an add on being a pilot? No? Okay, maybe again later. 😂 Yes? Can you remind me why that worked out this time? No? Its clasified? Got it. 🎉 LOL thanks, Skynet.

Id be interested in knowing if theres a way to incorporate backpropagation as another way of converging on valid solutions. Im kind of a noob in regards to what situations it can be applied, but this intuitively seems like an interesting one to try it with

Anyone remember an old physics based browser thing called Sodaplay? This reminds me of it but in 3d

Very cool! I always thought embedded cognition and balance were neat topics when I was studying cognitive science, even if I ended up taking a different stream of the program. It's nice to find work in machine learning that's not so cynical. I'll have to check out Vehicles too.

I wonder - what if you could let the creature's body evolve? Let it add tets, assign springs as balance checkers. What would be the most stable creature?

That was amazing

...deve ser muito interessante para a robótica. Não só "Mecânica corporal" , mas, movimentos, formas, mecânica, entre outros...

carykh eat your heart out

Awesome video! Amazing organization and presentation. Wheres you're honorary masters degree?

This video looks like if it was made before 2010

Really cool dude! (Octopi btw)

He low polyed a chicken for science

How are the parent sine waves coalated?

I'm watching these move and thinking about what it would be like to meet an alien that looks similar to these things

Love this. Thoroughly engaging stuff.

Triangle, the most powerful shape

look at them go

They are trying very hard ❤️🥰

9:36 me at 3am tweeking over my existential crises i have about every month

hey this is really cool

🤗 so cute 💕

0:56 someone put raging, high pitched chimpanzee screams over this part like that dude who raises African Dwarf Diving Frogs does in his videos

6:01 super fascinating

The animation at 3.45 looks like it is dancing in a conga line!

8:03 Who was it that said walking is just controlled falling? Anyway, great video

would be cooler if they chased each other. Have ones that run away and others who chase

I have no idea how I got here. I must have been selected (by yt algorithm) pretty cool though.

It’s so cute 😭

6:53 I'd like to see someone try anyways. Work with the simulator, rather than just let it run. Put a few of your own designs in the races whenever you finish one design. Maybe you can modify some working models it made too. You know the general motions, it can test the fine details. This should hopefully help reduce issues of local maxima.

Weird. I was trying to make chicken shapes with tetrahedra

Reminds me of a baby’s first steps

like a toddler!

Please make this inot a game!

they look so silly

Just like me going to eat at night

man the floor is slippery, should have extended increased sideways friction for a tenth of a unit above the floor to fake softness of feet

silly lil guys

Providing the inclination of a line calculated externally feels a bit like cheating. Would be more fair to have them evolve their own "vestibular" system by allowing them to sense the length of their lines and evolve neural networks to "decide" which lines to pay attention to; that way they could evolve some gravity/momentum sensing with proprioception and noticing how much a certain body part is being pulled around.

Reminds me of Java.. for some reason...

9:40 this was hilarious

9:35 XD

Somewhat odd that he posted all six of these videos, on the same day, in the same 30 minute interval. I mean, heall yeah i love content, but its making a piece of my brain itch. Why put them out this way?

Spore but you have origami brainrot

silly fella❗❗❗❗❗❗

02:50 - Picasso!
