Description

Explore the history of machines designed to reproduce and evolve with Rise of the Self-Replicators by Springer. This book provides a chronological survey and a comprehensive archive regarding the early history of thought about machine self-reproduction. Authors examine the implications of self-replicating robots for our environment, our future, and the future of life on Earth. By discussing contributions from science fiction, philosophy, science, and engineering, this work uncovers many examples that have not been previously discussed in Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life literature. It serves as a deep dive into the origins of how we conceptualize autonomous, evolving machines.
