Is it possible to design robots and other machines that can
reproduce and evolve? And, if so, what are the implications: for
the machines, for ourselves, for our environment, and for the
future of life on Earth and elsewhere? In this book the authors
provide a chronological survey and comprehensive archive of the
early history of thought about machine self-reproduction and
evolution. They discuss contributions from philosophy, science
fiction, science and engineering, and uncover many examples that
have never been discussed in the Artificial Intelligence and
Artificial Life literature before now. In the final chapter they
provide a synthesis of the concepts discussed, offer their views on
the field's future directions, and call for a broad community
discussion about the significant implications of intelligent
evolving machines. The book will be of interest to general readers,
and a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and
historians engaged with ideas in artificial intelligence,
artificial life, robotics, and evolutionary computing.
