• Title: Simulated Autopoiesis in Liquid Automata
• Authors: Steve Battle
• Abstract summary: Liquid Automata is a particle simulation with additional rules about how particles are transformed on collision with other particles. Unlike cellular automata, there is no fixed grid or time-step, only particles moving about and colliding with each other in a continuous space/time.

• Abstract: We present a novel form of Liquid Automata, using this to simulate autopoiesis, whereby living machines self-organise in the physical realm. This simulation is based on an earlier Cellular Automaton described by Francisco Varela. The basis of Liquid Automata is a particle simulation with additional rules about how particles are transformed on collision with other particles. Unlike cellular automata, there is no fixed grid or time-step, only particles moving about and colliding with each other in a continuous space/time.

  We introduce latent intuitive physics, a transfer learning framework for physics simulation. It can infer hidden properties of fluids from a single 3D video and simulate the observed fluid in novel scenes. We validate our model in three ways: (i) novel scene simulation with the learned visual-world physics, (ii) future prediction of the observed fluid dynamics, and (iii) supervised particle simulation.

  This paper reports on patterns exhibiting self-replication with spontaneous, inheritable mutations and exponential genetic drift in Neural Cellular Automata. Despite the models not being explicitly trained for mutation or inheritability, the descendant patterns exponentially drift away from ancestral patterns, even when the automaton is deterministic.

  We present a differentiable pipeline for simulating the motion of objects that represent their geometry as a continuous density field parameterized as a deep network. We estimate the dynamical properties of the object, including its mass, center of mass, and inertia matrix. This allows a robot to autonomously build object models that are visually and dynamically accurate from still images and videos of objects in motion.

  Deep learning has caused a paradigm shift in robotics research, favoring methods that require large amounts of data. State-of-the-art approaches learn in simulation where data generation is fast as well as inexpensive. We focus on a technique named 'domain randomization' which is a method for learning from randomized simulations.
