iRobot Visualizing Something Weird

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 21 of January , 2009 at 2:52 am

This video, from iRobot’s YouTube channel, is entitled “Inching Tube Test: Will it Break Out?” According to the caption, it’s a software model of some kind of “complex robot” that was being tested in a virtual environment. Anyone have any guesses as to what iRobot may have been (or is) working on here?

Maybe just raising knowledge and expertise in evolutionary robotics? Weird though.
