The Netherlands was the first "robot baby", and the robot "mating the child" through Wifi

Release date: 2016-06-06

According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on June 1, scientists at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands have created new technologies that allow robots to "mate" through Wi-Fi networks and then generate them through 3D printing technology. Robot offspring. Researchers believe that this technology can be used to colonize Mars.

In the picture, the robot is on the right side and the robot is on the left. As you can see, the robot parents are blue and green, and the robot baby has blue and green colors.

Scientists at the Free University of Amsterdam set up the Robotic Baby Program, which aims to create smarter, more advanced robots through processes similar to sexual reproduction. This idea sounds incredible, but they have proven its viability. In February, the researchers gave birth to the first "robot baby" by "mating" a pair of robotic parents.

In the process, the researchers developed a method of "letting robots have sex and pass DNA to future generations." This allows the robot to evolve, and after several generations of inheritance, it is possible to produce more advanced robots.

As research continues, researchers believe that these robots may be better suited for use in unknown environments where humans are at risk, such as deep-sea mining areas and even other planets. When two robots meet, they can communicate with each other, choose the right mating partner, and send their own genome via Wi-Fi. This sexual reproductive mechanism produces a new genome, and the genome code is sent to a 3D printer and then printed into new robotic components for assembly.

During the one-and-a-half-year development process, the researchers have completed the entire life cycle test. When robot parents breed offspring, their functions are randomly combined, including the brain (software) and hardware. Jacqueline Heinerman, a Ph.D. student who participated in the research, explained: "As technology advances, we will develop robotic neural networks. These neural networks can guide their behavior."

There are also “birth clinics” and “nursery rooms” built for free robots in the labs of the Free University. After birth, these small robots need to go through the learning process. If the conditions are met, the small robot can grow up and continue to breed the next generation. Researchers say this marks the beginning of a new era of "industrial evolution," in which machines can operate autonomously and reproduce.
