"Evolutionary developmental robotics" refers to a multidisciplinary field that combines the principles of evolutionary biology, developmental psychology, and robotics engineering. The goal of this field is to develop robots that can learn and adapt to their environment through a combination of development and evolution. The term is also frequently referred to as "evo-devo robotics" and "developmental robotics" by professionals in the field. These terms all describe the same process of using evolution and development to create smarter, more adaptive robots. As technology continues to advance, evolutionary developmental robotics research will become increasingly important in creating intelligent machines that can operate safely and efficiently in a variety of dynamic environments.
