Co-evolution of system models and system tests can be used for exploratory system identification of physical platforms. Here we demonstrate how the amount of physical testing can ...
Manufacturing processes are a key source of faults in complex hardware systems. Minimizing this impact of manufacturing uncertainties is one way towards achieving fault tolerant s...
The Evolvable Computation Group, at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, is tasked with demonstrating the utility of computational engineering and computer optimized design for com...

The structure and operation of multi-cellular organisms relies, among other things, on the specialization of the cells’ physical structure to a finite set of specific operatio...
After a reminder about embryonic machines endowed with universal construction and universal computation properties, this paper presents a novel architecture providing additional s...
Evolutionary Design has demonstrated great potential to automatically generate a wide array of novel, interesting, and human-competitive designs. Few of these evolved designs, how...
In this paper we describe novel metrics measuring complexity in self-organising networks. The metrics are investigated within the context of decentralised inspections, developed a...
This paper proposes an original approach to the reliability analysis for Embryonics [4], by introducing the accuracy threshold measure, borrowed from fault-tolerant quantum comput...
This paper describes novel concepts of space bionanorobotic systems that are based on revolutionary bio-nano-mechanisms formed by protein and DNA based nano-components. Nano-robot...
The hybrid redundancy structure found at the cellular level of higher animals provides complex organism with the three key features of a reliability-engineered system: fault toler...
