I mean, I saw that goofy little guy stomping around at the start and was convinced that it was just footage of me before 8 a.m.

if they made sounds when they walked do you think they'd go "womp womp womp womp" or "hoing hoing hoing hoing"

each degree of freedom can be a harmonic and each velocity determines its total sound at any given moment

Wow, this presentation is actually brilliantly entertaining. These creatures are too adorable. I think the way they trot on their pointy feet makes my brain happy.

Your "chicken" tet reminds me of Diogenes' "man" but inverted. You explain the essential attributes of a chicken, then present something that has all those attributes but obviously isn't a chicken.

Having a penalty to erratic movement/output is something I've wanted to see people do in alife/AI for a while now. When you watch people doing AI toy examples or getting an AI to play some game, said AI is constantly jittering back and forth, probably from some tiny perturbations in the input causing radical changes in the output that just happen to still get it where it is supposed to go.

What you mentioned about walking motion being less about direct neural control and more about the natural physical dynamics of the motion was fascinating. It has so many implications regarding hand-eye coordination that I hadn't thought about. Cool stuff!

God this video has so much meme potential 9:36 my body, on 7 cups of coffee, giving up after powering through entire nights to finally finish a month long assignment thats due in 3 days.

I hadnt thought of Sodaplay in like 20 years, great video

So cute! I like how the little one falls on his “butt” at 10:40. Reminds me of a kid!

It's cool but Karl Sims was doing this stuff in the 90s. I remember perusing his website in the mid 2000s, it was a great place for young geniuses

All that tech talk and not enough demo of their gaits. Fascinating model!

Amazing video, deserves much more attention!

Very cool! I always thought embedded cognition and balance were neat topics when I was studying cognitive science, even if I ended up taking a different stream of the program. It's nice to find work in machine learning that's not so cynical. I'll have to check out Vehicles too.

Yes! It's not just that the brain is somewhat hands off, it continuously engages the PNS and muscles as part of thinking. Embodied cognition really means what it implies.

I’m absolutely obsessed with the way these little guys move, the whole design of them is cool af, watched the whole thing with a big dumb grin on my face

I really like the sentence, “putting that wobble to good use.”

I never thought id find a grey completely undetailed pyramid cute

This is sick

Amazing video, deserves more views Thank you !

This video reminds me of CaryKH's 2d version of this, evolution simulator. He also made a 3d version but it only made tetrahedral creatures

Fantastic job, really interesting and clear.

The algorithm is always listening. 😅 A penny here, sone location data there, a dev document or two thrown in the hopper and then it say oh yeah, I was supposed to show you this give days ago but you were busy and you sat your project down for a while but hey, now that you're back at it, check out this dude. Oh, remenber how you used to buildnhets and helicopters? Want to see an add on being a pilot? No? Okay, maybe again later. 😂 Yes? Can you remind me why that worked out this time? No? Its clasified? Got it. 🎉 LOL thanks, Skynet.

walking is more like falling and repeatedly catching yourself

Amazing video so glad the algorithm showed me this

wow. brilliantly done.

Great presentation!!!

Crazy Content, Bro's gonna blow up !!

very good explanator and very good summary

Amazing! I mourn the loss of all the bipeds that didn't make it.

this is incredible!!!

Amazing video

carykh eat your heart out

An interesting modification would be giving each spring multiple sine waves and adding them up: it's a known mathematical result that you can approximate continuous functions with a sum of sine waves of differing frequencies and amplitudes. Since walking is such a periodic motion, probably 10 sine waves per spring would already give very rich motion control, potentially unlock far more efficient motion. (Especially if using 2 or more tetrahedra per leg to give more range of motion to the legs)

Technically, there are mentions of vestibular tortion in this paper.

not a joke, give some a tail. many bipeds use tails as a counter balance

Very nice!

wow thats really interesting, really intuitive way to think about evolution.

This video looks like if it was made before 2010

great stuff!

3:57 best thing I've seen today

A missed bit of available movement I noticed: Harmonics of the main frequency can still be in phase with the overall motion, and open the way for complex gaits. For instance, if I want to make a figure eight movement, I move with one frequency in one direction, and double of it in another.

this should have more views it's so cool

All fun and games until one falls over in a way that keeps its non-foot points off the ground and vibrates toward the point - algorithmically siring an entire lineage of vibrating worms that evolutionarily capitalize on the simulation's physics weaknesses.

Love this

Anyone remember an old physics based browser thing called Sodaplay? This reminds me of it but in 3d

Stuntin like the creator

Really cool dude! (Octopi btw)

instantly awesome vid after hearing the frggin sound effects at the start??!!

That was amazing

...deve ser muito interessante para a robótica. Não só "Mecânica corporal" , mas, movimentos, formas, mecânica, entre outros...

He low polyed a chicken for science

I wonder - what if you could let the creature's body evolve? Let it add tets, assign springs as balance checkers. What would be the most stable creature?

Id be interested in knowing if theres a way to incorporate backpropagation as another way of converging on valid solutions. Im kind of a noob in regards to what situations it can be applied, but this intuitively seems like an interesting one to try it with

Awesome video! Amazing organization and presentation. Wheres you're honorary masters degree?

I'm watching these move and thinking about what it would be like to meet an alien that looks similar to these things

look at them go

Petition for a Vestibular Biped plushie!

Have you read the Fabian, et al. nature communications article? The one about dorsal light response in insects, "Why flying insects gather at artificial light" it feels relevant to the zenith navigation method, or I guess how real world examples have inherent flaws.

I don't know why but this things walking make me unease

I used to know a flash game like this but it was 2D

Love this. Thoroughly engaging stuff.

hey this is really cool

Now make Vestibular quadrupeds, or hexapeds, or octapeds

They are trying very hard ❤️🥰

Triangle, the most powerful shape

6:01 super fascinating

How are the parent sine waves coalated?

would be cooler if they chased each other. Have ones that run away and others who chase

The animation at 3.45 looks like it is dancing in a conga line!

now make a vestibular tripod, and make it have tendrils tha tpick up things

🤗 so cute 💕

9:36 me at 3am tweeking over my existential crises i have about every month

I have no idea how I got here. I must have been selected (by yt algorithm) pretty cool though.

what software do you use?

Weird. I was trying to make chicken shapes with tetrahedra

i really want to see what it produces if you reward it for energy inefficiency lol

Please make this inot a game!

It’s so cute 😭
