This article discusses a robot that can determine when it is damaged and change its behavior. In the November 17, 2006 issue of "Science," computer scientist Josh Bongard of the University of Vermont in Burlington, Vermont and his colleagues describe a starfishlike, ambulatory machine that they created. They report detaching a portion of one of the four legs and that, in response to the insult, the device changed its gait.
