"Artificial Intelligence and Other Bio-Inspired Technologies"

Biologically inspired technologies are ubiquitous, including the airplane, sonar, and even machine learning broadly construed-from genetic algorithms to artificial intelligence. We will investigate how life inspired these technologies, and what the technologies themselves teach us about biophysics in return.
