“We are trying to, if you like, invent a completely new way of designing robots that doesn’t require humans to actually do the designing,” said Alan Winfield . “We’re developing the machine or robot equivalent of artificial selection in the way that farmers have been doing for not just centuries, but for millennia … What we’re interested in is breeding robots. I mean that literally.” Winfield, who has been working with software and robotic systems since the early 1980s, is a professor of Cognitive Robotics in the Bristol Robotics Lab at the University of the West of England (UWE). He’s also one of the brains behind the Autonomous Robot Evolution (ARE) project, a multiyear effort carried out by UWE, the University of York, Edinburgh Napier University, and University of Amsterdam. It will, its creators hope, change the way that robots are designed and built. And it’s all thanks to borrowing a page from evolutionary biology. The concept behind ARE is, at least hypothetically, … [Read more...] about Evolving, self-replicating robots are here — but don’t worry about an uprising

DAN JAMES has backed Robert Page to lead Wales at Euro 2020 - if Ryan Giggs remains on special leave. The Manchester United winger got the Dragons' 2022 World Cup bid up and running with a late winner over the Czech Republic. Next up for Wales is the Euro finals this summer but Giggs ' managerial future is still uncertain as he is on bail until May 1 following his arrest last November on suspicion of assault, an allegation he denies.

The three-storey Brand Centre had been a centrepiece of the F1 paddock since it first appeared back in 2007. It featured 13.5-metres of solar glass facade on the front and included kitchens, catering areas, meeting rooms, driver rooms, and office space for marketing and media staff. But as part of F1’s move to a more sustainable future, the huge logistics of transporting motorhomes on lorries around Europe has come under the spotlight. With teams evaluating how to reduce travelling costs and the carbon impact of everything they do, McLaren has decided to scale back its famous motorhome. Rather than start from scratch with an all-new structure, the team will refurbish and configure the Brand Centre for its return in a much reduced size. The new motorhome, which will be renamed, is set to appear for the first time at the Monaco Grand Prix. It will need just eight trucks to be transported, rather than the 17 that the Brand Centre required. Read Also: … [Read more...] about McLaren to downsize its iconic F1 motorhome

CRYPTOCURRENCIES like Bitcoin and Dogecoin are seeing record-breaking prices this week, but what's the difference between them all? Some of these currencies are gaining legitimacy thanks to support from well-known, mainstream companies such as PayPal, Mastercard, Facebook and Tesla. Prices are also rising ahead of the float of Coinbase - a company that lets you buy and sell other cryptocurrencies. As a result of sky high prices, some people are looking at investing in currencies like Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Ethereum in the hopes of cashing in on the action.
