Robot's Escape Bid
Evolution Almost Gets One Killed
 
Robot's Escape Bid

The Age reports of a very funny story about an evolution experiment with Robots. You may be aware of the efforts of Noel Sharkey in Sheffield, trying to run a survival of the fittest algorithm in real-life; Real Robot Wars (related thread). This time, things have gone further -- or at least a robot has! 'Thinking' Robot in Escape Bid. One of the evolved contestants broke out of its cage and wandered its way down the corridor and through the door, almost getting run over by a car. This is a great coincidence, and no doubt it'll get the press very excited ;)
