Peter Nordin (August 9, 1965 – October 12, 2020)[1] was a Swedish computer scientist, entrepreneur and author who has contributed to artificial intelligence, automatic programming, machine learning, and evolutionary robotics.

Studies and early career

Peter Nordin was born in 1965 in

configuration.[2]

Nordin began his research while at Infologics AB, Sweden. His work led to several European research projects (

Genetic Programming (GP) in 1992.[5] In 1993, he started Dacapo AB,[6] a research and development company.[7] He invented a method for automatic induction of binary machine code using genetic programming[8] and researched how to produce machine code with genetic programming. In 1997 he co-founded the American company RML Technologies, Inc. with commercial GP software.[9] Nordin spent a large portion of 1995 and 1996 at the University of Dortmund, where he completed his doctoral studies.[10] At Dortmund University he initiated research in evolutionary robotics.[11] and demonstrated that GP can be used for real-time, on-line training and control[citation needed] of robotic systems.[12]

In 1998, he co-authored a textbook on genetic programming.[13] Peter Nordin created a search engine company in 1999, VILL AB[14] (with global search engine wannasee.com) as well as another AI-company, Tific AB[15][16] for automated support, and received the year’s Sten Gustafsson prize for entrepreneuring, awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences.[17] At the time, he was also the co-founder of Chalmer's Medialab[18] and was on the board of the Swedish AI Society.[19] He was Chair of the second European Conference on Genetic Programming, EuroGP 1999, now part of EvoStar.

Robots and commercialization of AI

During 1998–2003, he was an associate professor at Chalmers’

non-linear low-level control. Robots have also learned to walk on two legs without having foreknowledge by simulating the behaviour.[30] The robot Elvis,[31] attracted some media interest internationally.[32] The world's first flying "flapping" adaptive ornithopter robot[33] appeared in TV and other media. The popular science book; “Humanoider: Självlärande robotar och artificiell intelligens”,[34] was one result of this public interest.[35]

During his time at Chalmers, he started another 10 spin-off companies based on his research.[dead link][36] He had a number of patents,[37] all related to genetic programming and evolutionary methods. He was a co-founder of the Institute of Robotics in Scandinavia.[dead link][38] From 2013 Peter Nordin was an adjoint professor at Chalmers in Göteborg, Sweden.

Nordin was seen in the public debate on treatment of gifted children and is an advisor for the Mensa International Process, both he and his wife were active members of Mensa International.

He lived with wife Carina and 6 children outside Gothenburg in Askim.[39]

Career summary, research

Peter Nordin had a PhD in Computer Science at University of Dortmund (1997) and a degree in computer science and engineering from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden (1988). His later research included commercial evolutionary robotics software[40] and software for a complete cognitive system for robots.[41] His earlier research included Evolutionary software architecture for robotics,[42] the invention of evolutionary induction of mathematical proofs[43] and of binary machine language,[44] speech and vision recognition,[45] and linear genetic programming for internet search.[46] He researched analysis of genetic programming through complexity theory.[47]

Peter Nordin was the inventor of the ALLAN-method

Speed Prior using random strings as reinforcement to create a Universal Artificial Intelligence
