Framsticks: Evolved running, swimming, and ski-jumping

This video consists of three parts: - The first, introductory part is a one-minute sequence showing a simulation of Foraminifera. - The second part demonstrates evolved running and swimming behaviors (velocity as the fitness function was maximized). In this research, we investigate movement strategies that emerge in different gravity settings. - The third part demonstrates real-time coordination: free-form stick ski jumpers and their neural control systems were evolved here in a simplified ski-jumping task.
