MOBIUS: Modeling Biology Using Smart Materials

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking University College London as follows: The research will focus on two goals: (1) The creation of a new biologically-inspired algorithm that exploits both evolution and processes of development to enable computers to automatically find solutions to large-scale complex problems overcoming current scalability problems in evolutionary computation. (2) The demonstration of this algorithm on a novel combination of `smart materials' (such as memory shape alloys and rapid prototyping technologies) for the design of self-adapting forms.
