Hod Lipson and his Introspective Robots

[RoboGuy]

Natasha Dantzig of TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) writes,"We've released a newtalk by Hod Lipson (Flash video format). He demonstrates a few ofhis cool little robots, which have the ability to learn, understandthemselves and even self-replicate. At the root of this uncanny demo isa deep inquiry into the nature of how humans and living beings learn andevolve, and how we might harness these processes to make things thatlearn and evolve."
