Course Description

Overview

Explore the fascinating world of neural cellular automata in this 16-minute video that delves into a model learning to grow complex patterns through local interactions. Discover how cells are trained to communicate with neighbors, collectively achieving an overall goal in a process reminiscent of biological morphogenesis. Examine the parallels between this computational model and the development of multicellular organisms, from a single egg cell to complex anatomies. Investigate the robustness and adaptability of morphogenetic processes, including regeneration in certain species. Gain insights into the intersection of developmental biology and computer science, exploring the potential for designing self-repairing systems and advancing regenerative medicine. Learn about the challenges in understanding how cell collectives determine what to build and when to stop, and consider the implications for future biomedicine and robotics.
