RoboGen™ Project awarded AWS Cloud Credits for Research
January 17th, 2018
The RoboGen Project has been awarded $10,000 (USD) in credit to Amazon Web Services as a recipient of the AWS Cloud Credits for Research Program (formerly AWS Research Grants) for the second time.
RoboGen™ is an open source platform for the co-evolution of robot bodies and brains. It has been designed with a primary focus on evolving robots that can be easily manufactured via 3D-printing and the use of a small set of low-cost, off-the-shelf electronic components. It features an evolution engine and a physics simulation engine. Additionally, it includes utilities for generating design files of body components to be used with a 3D-printer, and for compiling neural-network controllers to run on a microcontroller board. The AWS credits will be used to perform large-scale experiments in distributing Evolutionary Robotics over the web.
