In order to take advantage of the massive parallelism offered by artificial neural networks, hardware implementations are essential.However, most standard neural network models are not very suitable for implementation in hardware and adaptations are needed ...
This paper is concerned with adaptation capabilities of evolved neural controllers. We propose to evolve mechanisms for parameter self-organization instead of evolving the parameters themselves. The method consists of encoding a set of local adaptation rul ...
The lack of appropriate substrates has delayed the realisation of devices based on III-nitrides. Currently, the heteroepitaxial growth of GaN by metal organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) produces GaN layers which, despite huge densities of dislocations, a ...
We propose an alternative paradigm for processing time-varying visual inputs, in particular for tasks involving temporal and spatial integration, which is inspired by hypotheses about the computational role of cortical microcircuits. Since detailed knowled ...
A model is presented that allows prediction of the probability for the formation of appositions between the axons and dendrites of any two neurons based only on their morphological statistics and relative separation. Statistics of axonal and dendritic morp ...
It is argued that competitive co-evolution is a viable methodology for developing truly autonomous and intelligent machines capable of setting their own goals in order to face new and continuously changing challenges. The paper starts giving an introductio ...
We describe a new experimental approach whereby an indoor flying robot evolves the ability to navigate in a textured room using only visual information and neuromorphic control. The architecture of a spiking neural circuit, which is connected to the vision ...
