Always a blast introducing new folks to the history + future of #biohybrid #robotics - today at the University of Bristol SoftLab Seminar! Great to get feedback on what we've done so far + an exciting reminder of how much we have left to keep us busy in the coming decades 😊

The Genomic Code: the genome instantiates a generative model of the organism www.cell.com/trends/genet... - really delighted to see this in print in @cp-trendsgenetics.bsky.social! 😊

Our new neuroscience paper - hot off the press! Check it out! 🧠🧠🧠💻💻💻

Today's evolutionary #robotics lecture: bipedal locomotion. In which John Cleese and yours truly demonstrate several silly walks. youtu.be/4o9CZK8Azcw

@drmichaellevin.bsky.social presents to the United Nations on how xenobots (Doug Blackiston & @samkriegman.com), anthrobots (Gizem Gumuskaya), and other discoveries from his lab can serve as "agential materials" that AI can employ to interface with the body. www.youtube.com/live/T40utCZ...
