# Artificially Evolved Robots Can Self-Organize Their Tasks

![](<https://futurism.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/maxresdefault-1.jpg>)

- Researchers at the University of Leuven in Belgium used a method of “artificial evolution” to design complex robot behaviors.
- The robots exhibit organized division of labor, with different robots completing different specialized tasks.
- This field of “swarm robotics” seeks to use small robots to explore complex environments, such as the moon.
