Paleoinspired robotics as an experimental approach to the history of life The emerging field of paleoinspired robotics studies ancient organisms and their evolutionary trajectories.

Using robotics to understand the history of life. The latest from our collaborative team with @vdisanto.bsky.social, Michael Ishida, Fumiya Iida, and Fiji Berio. With robots we can model great transitions in the history of life. See: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
