For a robot to learn a good policy, it often requires expensive equipment (such as sophisticated sensors) and a prepared training environment conducive to learning. However, it is seldom possible to perfectly equip robots for economic…
We study an abstract model for the co-evolution between mutating viruses and the adaptive immune system. In sequence space, these two populations are localized around transiently dominant strains. Delocalization or error thresholds exhibit…
A common vision from science fiction is that robots will one day inhabit our physical spaces, sense the world as we do, assist our physical labours, and communicate with us through natural language. Here we study how to design artificial…
Scientific experimentation and manufacturing rely on prolonged protocol development and complex, multi-step implementation, which require continuous human expertise for precise execution and decision-making, limiting interpretability and…
We present Portable Agent Memory, an open protocol and reference implementation for transferring persistent memory state across heterogeneous AI agents. Modern AI agents accumulate rich context -- episodic events,semantic knowledge,…
Learning generalizable and robust behavior cloning policies requires large volumes of high-quality robotics data. While human demonstrations (e.g., through teleoperation) serve as the standard source for expert behaviors, acquiring such…
Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) -- multi-agent systems that combine large language models with external tools and autonomous planning -- are rapidly transitioning from research laboratories into high-stakes domains. Our earlier "Basic"…
A number of works in the field of intrusion detection have been based on Artificial Immune System and Soft Computing. Artificial Immune System based approaches attempt to leverage the adaptability, error tolerance, self- monitoring and…
Intelligent behaviour in the physical world exhibits structure at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Although movements are ultimately executed at the level of instantaneous muscle tensions or joint torques, they must be selected to…
We present a novel solution to the problem of simulation-to-real transfer, which builds on recent advances in robot skill decomposition. Rather than focusing on minimizing the simulation-reality gap, we learn a set of diverse policies that…
Jerne's idiotypic network theory postulates that the immune response involves inter-antibody stimulation and suppression as well as matching to antigens. The theory has proved the most popular Artificial Immune System (ais) model for…
This paper introduces Alter3, a humanoid robot that demonstrates spontaneous motion generation through the integration of GPT-4, Large Language Model (LLM). This overcomes challenges in applying language models to direct robot control. By…
The transition from stateless model inference to stateful agentic execution is reshaping the systems assumptions underlying modern AI infrastructure. While large language models have made persistent, tool-using, and collaborative agents…
In robotics, gradient-free optimization algorithms (e.g. evolutionary algorithms) are often used only in simulation because they require the evaluation of many candidate solutions. Nevertheless, solutions obtained in simulation often do not…
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder find robots easier to communicate with than humans. Thus, robots have been introduced in autism therapies. However, due to the environmental complexity, the used robots often have to be controlled…
Assistive robots offer agency to humans with severe motor impairments. Often, these users control high-DoF robots through low-dimensional interfaces, such as using a 1-D sip-and-puff interface to operate a 6-DoF robotic arm. This mismatch…
Humans and animals show remarkable flexibility in adjusting their behaviour when their goals, or rewards in the environment change. While such flexibility is a hallmark of intelligent behaviour, these multi-task scenarios remain an…
Several pathogens use evolvability as a survival strategy against acquired immunity of the host. Despite their high variability in time, some of them exhibit quite low variability within the population at any given time, a somehow…
We investigate the evolutionary processes behind the development and optimization of multiple threads of execution in digital organisms using the avida platform, a software package that implements Darwinian evolution on populations of…
This paper contributes to the human-machine interface community in two ways: as a critique of the closed-loop AC (augmented cognition) approach, and as a way to introduce concepts from complex systems and systems physiology into the field.…
