Artificial Life, (commonly Alife or alife) is a field of study and associated art form which examine
systems related to life, its processes and its evolution through
simulations using
computer models,
robotics, and
biochemistry. There are three main kinds of alife: soft from
software, hard from
hardware, and wet from biochemistry approaches respectively. Artificial life imitates traditional
biology by trying to recreate biological phenomena. The term "Artificial Life" is often used to specifically refer to soft alife.
