description: I found the Golem project, a distributed computing initiative similar to SETI@home that uses idle screensaver time to design and evolve physical locomoting machines. It is a unique application of evolutionary robotics and crowd-sourced processing.

The [Golem project](http://golem03.cs-i.brandeis.edu/index.html) is rather like SETI@Home, except that your screensaver builds 'physical locomoting machines'. Neat.
