title = "Low Complexity Control Policy Synthesis for Embodied Computation in Synthetic Cells",
abstract = "As robots become more capable, they also become more complicated—either in terms of their physical bodies or their control architecture, or both. An iterative algorithm is introduced to compute feasible control policies that achieve a desired objective while maintaining a low level of design complexity (quantified using a measure of graph entropy) and a high level of task embodiment (evaluated by analyzing the Kullback-Leibler divergence between physical executions of the robot and those of an idealized system). When the resulting control policy is sufficiently capable, it is projected onto a set of sensor states. The result is a simple, physically-realizable design that is representative of both the control policy and the physical body. This method is demonstrated by computationally optimizing a simulated synthetic cell.",
