In a convergence of machine learning and biology, we reveal that diffusion models are evolutionary algorithms. By considering evolution as a denoising process and reversed evolution as diffusion, we mathematically demonstrate that diffusion models inherently perform evolutionary algorithms, naturall…
Robots deployed at orders of magnitude different size scales; and that retain the same desired behavior at any of those scales; would greatly expand the environments in which the robots could operate. However it is currently not known whether such robots exist; and; if they do; how to design them. S…
A robot's mechanical parts routinely wear out from normal functioning and can be lost to injury. For autonomous robots operating in isolated or hostile environments, repair from a human operator is often not possible. Thus, much work has sought to automate damage recovery in robots. However, every c…
