Artificial life is a research field studying what processes and properties define life, based on a multidisciplinary approach spanning the physical, natural, and computational sciences. Artificial life aims to foster a comprehensive study of life beyond "life as we know it" and toward "life as it could be," with theoretical, synthetic, and empirical models of the fundamental properties of living systems. While still a relatively young field, artificial life has flourished as an environment for researchers with different backgrounds, welcoming ideas, and contributions from a wide range of subjects. Hybrid Life brings our attention to some of the most recent developments within the artificial life community, rooted in more traditional artificial life studies but looking at new challenges emerging from interactions with other fields. Hybrid Life aims to cover studies that can lead to an understanding, from first principles, of what systems are and how biological and artificial systems can interact and integrate to form new kinds of hybrid (living) systems, individuals, and societies. To do so, it focuses on three complementary perspectives: theories of systems and agents, hybrid augmentation, and hybrid interaction. Theories of systems and agents are used to define systems, how they differ (e.g., biological or artificial, autonomous, or nonautonomous), and how multiple systems relate in order to form new hybrid systems. Hybrid augmentation focuses on implementations of systems so tightly connected that they act as a single, integrated one. Hybrid interaction is centered around interactions within a heterogeneous group of distinct living and nonliving systems. After discussing some of the major sources of inspiration for these themes, we will focus on an overview of the works that appeared in Hybrid Life special sessions, hosted by the annual Artificial Life Conference between 2018 and 2022.

人工生命是一个研究领域，基于跨物理、自然和计算科学的多学科方法，研究定义生命的过程和属性。人工生命旨在促进对超越“我们所知道的生命”的生命的全面研究，并朝着“生命可能的样子”发展，建立生命系统基本属性的理论、综合和经验模型。虽然仍然是一个相对年轻的领域，但人工生命已经蓬勃发展，成为具有不同背景的研究人员的环境，欢迎来自广泛学科的思想和贡献。混合生命将我们的注意力吸引到人工生命社区内的一些最新发展，这些发展根植于更传统的人工生命研究，但着眼于与其他领域相互作用所产生的新挑战。混合生命旨在涵盖可以从第一原理理解系统是什么以及生物和人工系统如何相互作用和整合以形成新的混合（生命）系统、个体和社会的研究。为此，它侧重于三个互补的视角：系统和代理理论、混合增强和混合相互作用。系统和代理理论用于定义系统、它们如何不同（例如，生物或人工、自主或非自主）以及多个系统如何相互关联以形成新的混合系统。混合增强侧重于系统的实现，这些系统紧密相连，以至于它们作为一个单一的、集成的系统运作。混合相互作用以异构的不同生命和非生命系统群体内的相互作用为中心。在讨论了这些主题的一些主要灵感来源之后，我们将重点介绍在 2018 年至 2022 年期间举办的年度人工生命会议的混合生命特别会议上发表的作品概述。本文归类于： 神经科学 > 认知 哲学 > 人工智能 计算机科学与机器人学 > 机器人学
