Abstract. Self-replication is a fundamental property of many interesting physical, formal and biological systems, such as crystals, waves, automata, and especially forms of natural...
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...
After a reminder about embryonic machines endowed with universal construction and universal computation properties, this paper presents a novel architecture providing additional s...
Abstract. This paper reviews the history of embedded, evolvable selfreplicating structures implemented as cellular automata systems. We relate recent advances in this field to the...
Edgar Codd's 1968 design for a self-replicating cellular automata machine has never been implemented. Partly this is due to its enormous size but we have also identified four...
