Although researchers have made progress in designing materials to mitigate this effect, a lack of understanding about what is happening inside the batteries and what governs the reactions continues to retard commercialization. Using this technique will help make battery design much more systematic, and less trial and error.

To accomplish tasks, they need both a well-designed body and a “brain,” or controller. But there are few ways to optimize a robot’s design at the same time. Unless the designer is an algorithm. Because it is 2D and the program is simply designed, it doesn’t need much computational power. The same is true for robots.
