But biorobotics expert John Long has found an ingenious way to overcome this problem: he creates robots that look and behave like extinct animals, subjects them to evolutionary pressures, lets them compete for mates and resources, and mutates their 'genes'. In short, he lets robots play the game of life.AIn Darwin's Devices, Long tells the story of these evolving biorobots-how they came to be, and what they can teach us about the biology of living and extinct species.
