We present a new self-reproducing cellular automaton capable of construction and computation beyond self-reproduction. Our automaton makes use of some of the concepts developed by...
After a reminder about embryonic machines endowed with universal construction and universal computation properties, this paper presents a novel architecture providing additional s...
We study Life-like cellular automaton rule B2/S2345. This automaton exhibits a chaotic behavior yet capable for purposeful computation. The automaton implements Boolean gates via p...
After a survey of some realizations of self-replicating machines, this paper presents the construction based selfreplication of universal 3D structures. This self-replication proc...
: The Game of Life cellular automaton is a classical example of a massively parallel collision-based computing device. The automaton exhibits mobile patterns, gliders, and generato...
