What If Evolution Was Metal Instead of Carbon?
•December 24, 2025
Original Description
What if evolution wasn’t carbon-based — but metal instead?
This short film explores an alternative, iron-based evolution through robots, simulation, and real-world machines.
Inspired by biological evolution, this Christmas lab film imagines a world where machines evolve instead of organisms.
From code and simulation to real robots, we follow an accelerated, fictional evolution — driven by optimization, adaptation, and a bit of humor.
This video was created as a light-hearted Christmas project at our robotics lab, blending real research tools with cinematic storytelling.
No robots were harmed during the making of this film.
Created by members of the Robotics Systems Lab.
If you enjoyed this, feel free to like or share — and happy holidays.
