What if a robot gets damaged during operation? Can it still perform its mission without immediate repair? See our solution to this problem, inspired by self-embodied resilience strategies of stick insects youtube.com/watch?v=Bp7esF…

Insect-Inspired Resilient Machines Our new study presents a decentralized resilient neural control for legged robots, enabling self-organized locomotion and rapid adaptation to extreme leg loss within seconds. youtu.be/__gviiVEqkY?si… advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ai…

We believe this work highlights the power of bio-inspired learning mechanisms in robotics. Our Hebbian networks are simple, lightweight, and robust and they generalize without requiring architectural complexity or training tricks.
