Something like this Google Tech Talk, "Polyworld: Using Evolution to Design Artificial Intelligence"? [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗As much as I understood, this project isn't so much about AI, as it is about a better understanding of biology. I don't know if the project still lives, or are there other many such works, but Polyworld seemed like an interesting idea (developing AI through evolution): [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗This is incredible. The various emergent behaviors are fascinating. I remember being amazed a decade ago by the primitive graphics in artificial life simulators like Polyworld: [LINK] [VIDEO] It seems that OpenAI has a great little game simulated for their agents to play in. The next step to make this even cooler would be to use physical, robotic agents learning to overcome challenges in real meatspace!
