arXiv:2607. 23842v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Artificial life systems are typically defined by a set of dynamical rules over an environment, an agent, or both, from which lifelike patterns may emerge.
arXiv:2608. 07537v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this study, we propose a framework that incorporates subjective evaluations provided by a Vision-Language Model (VLM) into the fitness evaluation and selection processes of a genetic algorithm.
arXiv:2604. 08780v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: World models promise a paradigm shift in robotics, where an agent learns the physics of its environment once and then acquires behaviors efficiently.
arXiv:2606. 02832v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite a great deal of prior research into Procedural Content Generation (PCG), relatively little prior work has explored generating enemies for video games.
arXiv:2601. 16806v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Insect neuroethology provides a compelling biological template for efficient autonomous navigation.
arXiv:2608. 08311v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present Ouroboros, a self-developing agent harness whose tools, prompts, context assembly, and core implementation improve through reviewed commits that become the runtime for later work.
arXiv:2608. 07645v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-improving coding agents that iteratively rewrite their own source code have demonstrated impressive performance on coding tasks.
arXiv:2608. 05158v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In biological evolution, unconstrained mutation can lead to catastrophic outcomes: organisms may evolve enhanced capabilities while losing essential functions for survival.
arXiv:2606. 08405v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While data-intensive deep reinforcement learning can optimize complex control policies, scientific discovery in physical systems fundamentally requires an interpretable chain of reasoning that connects physical evidence to structured control architectures.
arXiv:2505. 15998v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present a curiosity-driven AI scientist method for discovering system-level dynamics in Flow-Lenia, a continuous cellular automaton (CA) with mass conservation and parameter localization.
arXiv:2606. 24958v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Collective behavior arises when locally interacting units produce coordinated global organization, from synchronization in dynamical systems to task-relevant information flow on graphs.
arXiv:2606. 15896v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning-based quadrupedal locomotion typically relies on complex reward formulations that entangle task specification, operational limits, gait preference, and terrain adaptation within a single optimization objective.
arXiv:2607. 26598v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents may recover from a failure within an episode or after a retry, yet the same execution failure can recur in later tasks because post-episode feedback rarely revises the persistent harness that guides future interactions.
