Biosymtic robotics: Adaptive plasticity for space exploration

Solutions supporting human development and reproduction in space environments are critical. Developmental space biology evaluates the effects of micro and macro gravity on animals. Regarding the possibility of human development in space results are not optimistic. We propose a new paradigm to facilitate human adaptation to off Earth environments and develop further human evolutionary stages. We suggest that robotic devices, encouraging interactions with challenging natural environments, offering new possibilities for biological self-discovery, may potentiate human biological adaptive plasticity - facilitating adaptation to space environments. Early developmental phases may be ideal to induce space adaptation.
