Doesn't sound any clearer.
How about following developmental robotics rather than evo devo universe?
That seems to be the field inspiring a lot of European research.

I esp. liked the premise of the above paper:
"we shall eliminate direct programming from consideration; it is still the
most effective method for solving a particular task quickly, but seems
unlikely ever to lead to
open-ended, general-purpose behaviour"
Any comments on this and related fields? Epigenetic robotics et al?

Subject: [agi] The many different types of embodiment
Given that people have often called my ruminations on embodied
artificial life "too abstract" and "unclear and not at all
understandable", I thought I should post that they may be exactly
that. Having watched the Einstein episode of the impossible "Ancient
Aliens", I was reminded of Einstein's mental experiments "what would
it be like to travel on a photon" etc. Well, I am asserting that to
correctly handle the cosmology and epistemology of embodied agents and
ALife it is not enough to write programs that show you something on a
screen that looks like something interesting or better still like
something in real life. Instead ALifers should spent a lot of time
hitching a ride on a cell in cellular automata, being a memory counter
in a modern processor etc.
Anyway, these problems are not immune to formalization and proper
research, for example http://evodevouniverse.com/wiki/Main_Page
