We study the emergence and dynamics of competing strains of digital organisms in a world with two depletable resources. Consumption of one resource produces the other resource as a...
Maturana and Varela's notion of autopoiesis has the potential to transform the conceptual foundation of biology as well as the cognitive, behavioral, and brain sciences. In or...
Baldwin's classic hypothesis states that behavioral plasticity can speed evolution by (a) smoothing the fitness landscape and (b) indirect genetic assimilation of acquired cha...
Toys and play-things are often engineered to replicate the character of real organisms. In the past, inventors often lavished great expense on their life-like automata, their cons...
We study the response of populations of digital organisms that adapt to a time-varying (periodic) fitness landscape of two oscillating peaks. We corroborate in general predictions ...
New Robotics designates an approach to robotics that, in contrast to traditional robotics, employs ideas and principles from biology. While in the traditional approach there are g...
We consider a hierarchical multicellular sensing and communication network, embedded in an ageless aerospace vehicle, that is expected to detect and react to multiple impacts and d...
