Artificial Cellular Division by Self-Inspection

Abstract. This article describes a novel approach to the implementation on an electronic substrate of a process analogous to the cellular division of biological organisms. Cellular division is one of the two processes that allow the multicellular organization of complex living beings, and is therefore a key mechanism for the implementation of bio-inspired features such as development (growth) and self-repair (cicatrization). In particular, we shall describe the architecture and operation of a new kind of programmable logic device capable of realizing, in silicon, a cellular division process.
