Crayfish, Simplicity and Robots

There's an interesting article over on Science Daily, which talks about Crayfish Robots On Mars. It discusses the interest of simple life-forms to robotics, cognitive science, and computing; much is to be learnt from how their simple brains perform tasks that humans can do (such as finding food or a nest). The article then mentions how evolution comes into play, not necessarily finding a solution to the problem, but finding something that works. The link with Mars is not prominent in the article, but NASA want to use this technology for exploration.

Worth taking a look.
