Abstract

In this article I briefly discuss the role that artificial (robotic) models can play in the study of competing co-evolutionary dynamics, the main results obtained in the research works addressing the evolution of predator and prey robots, and the implications of these studies for robotics. In particular I discuss the factors that cause the convergence toward a cyclical dynamic and the factors that enable prolonged innovation phases eventually leading to open-ended processes.
