Interesting. I like this line of research.

Originally shared by Cornell UniversityEvolution in action! A research team led by Cornell University’s Creative Machines Lab has created a computer algorithm that can be used to witness virtual creatures evolving their squishy, muscle-like features in order to teach themselves to walk.
The team incorporated concepts from developmental biology and how nature builds complex animals – from jellyfish to jaguars. The result is an array of bizarre, simulated robots that evolve a diverse series of gaits and gallops. For more information regarding this study, contact Syl Kacapyr at the Media Relations Office:
