• Morphological change in machines accelerates the evolution of robust behavior (2011, background): “One class of robots that allows for morphological change during behavior is modular robotics (37), particularly at the meso- and microscale (38) where greater topological and material change is possible than if only a few macroscopic modules are employed.”
