What if a robot gets damaged during operation? Can it still perform its mission without immediate repair?
See our solution to this problem, inspired by self-embodied resilience strategies of stick insects youtube.com/watch?v=Bp7esFyY…

We believe this work highlights the power of bio-inspired learning mechanisms in robotics.
Our Hebbian networks are simple, lightweight, and robust and they generalize without requiring architectural complexity or training tricks.
