Robot biologist solves complex problem from scratch | KurzweilAI

Robot biologist solves complex problem from scratch | KurzweilAI: The biological system that the researchers used to test ABE is glycolysis, the primary process that produces energy in a living cell. They focused on how yeast cells control glycolytic oscillations  because it is one of the most extensively studied biological control systems. ABE derived the equations a priori. The only thing the software knew in advance was addition, subtraction, multiplication and division...

Lipson used genetic programming for the breeding process... However, this process also proved to be too slow.
So Lipson combined the breeding and the debugging processes in an approach he calls co-evolution.
