Abstract. Evolvable Hardware (EHW) has been proposed as a new method for designing systems for real-world applications. In this paper it is applied for evolving a prosthetic hand c...
This paper introduces the concept of polymorphic electronics (polytronics) –referring to electronics with superimposed built-in functionality. A function change does not require ...

Abstract. The Embryonics project is inspired by some of the basic processes of molecular biology, such as the embryonic development of living beings. Transposing these processes in...
Abstract. Evolutionary methods are now beginning to be used routinely in design applications. However, even with computing speeds growing continuously, for many complex design prob...
The usefulness of an artificial analog neural network is closely bound to its trainability. This paper introduces a new analog neural network architecture using weights determined...

Abstract. The exploitation of the physical characteristics has already been demonstrated in the intrinsic evolution of electronic circuits. This paper is an initial attempt at crea...
A system for intrinsic hardware evolution of analog electronic circuits is presented. It consists of a VLSI chip featuring 16 × 16 programmable transistor cells, an FPGA based PCI...
Abstract. Embryonics is a long-term research project attempting to draw inspiration from the biological process of ontogeny, to implement novel digital computing machines endowed w...
