Morphogenetic robotics
Morphogenetic robotics generally refers to the methodologies that address challenges in robotics inspired by biological morphogenesis. Morphogenetic robotics includes, but is not limited to the following main topics:
- Morphogenetic swarm robotics that deals with the self-organization of multi-robots using genetic and cellular mechanisms governing the biological early morphogenesis;
- Morphogenetic modular robots where modular robots adapt their configuration autonomously using morphogenetic principles;
- Developmental approaches to the design of the body plan of robots, such as sensors and actuators, as well as the design of the controller, e.g., a neural controller using a generative coding gene regulatory network model
