چکیده

This manual outlines a fully automated liquid handling robot to enable physically-embodied evolution within a chemical oil-droplet system. The robot is based upon the REPRAP3D printer system and makes the droplets by mixing chemicals and then placing them in a petri dish after which they are recorded using a camera and the behaviour of the droplets analysed using image recognition software. This manual accompanies the open access publication published in Nature Communications DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6571.

Evolution of oil droplets in a chemorobotic platform

Evolution, once the preserve of biology, has been widely emulated in software, while physically embodied systems that can evolve have been limited to electronic and robotic devices and have never been artificially implemented in populations of physically interacting chemical entities. Herein we present a liquid-handling robot built with the aim of investigating the properties of oil droplets as...

Embodied Evolution of Artificial Cells in a Hybrid Wet/Hard-ware Platform

The development of life over billions of years is the product of complex evolutionary processes between populations of living entities and the environment, together selecting fitter systems. Biological cells are outstanding examples of complex non-equilibrium systems showing emergent dynamics, and are the only example of naturally occurring, self-maintaining and self-replicating machines. How c...

Speaking of criminal liability arising from the remote surgeries and also robotic surgeries for the minds which have accustomed to dogmatic in the realm of criminal law, is an unfamiliar issue. This is while new boundary in the field of criminal responsibility lead our surgical team to where through a rethinking of the traditional teaching on this topic, we analyze special and differential comp...

Dynamics and Motion Control of Wheeled Robotic Systems

Mobile robotic systems, which include a mobile platform with one or more manipulators, mounted at specific locations on the mobile base, are of great interest in a number of applications. In this paper, after thorough kinematic studies on the platform and manipulator motions, a systematic methodology will be presented to obtain the dynamic equations for such systems without violating the base n...
