Automatically synthesizing behaviors for robots with articulated bodies poses a number of challenges beyond those encountered when generating behaviors for simpler agents. One such challenge is how to optimize a controller that can orchestrate dynamic moti ...
This article presents a robust and heavy duty physical latching connection mechanism, which can be actuated with DC motors to actively connect and disconnect modular robot units. The special requirements include a lightweight and simple construction provid ...
During the last several years, reconfigurable computing devices have experienced an impressive development in their resource availability, speed, and configurability. Currently, commercial FPGAs offer the possibility of self-reconfiguring by partially modi ...
In this article, we present a methodological framework that meets novel requirements emerging from upcoming types of accelerated and highly configurable neuromorphic hardware systems. We describe in detail a device with 45 million programmable and dynamic ...
Signal processing designs are becoming increasingly complex with demands for more advanced algorithms. Designers are now seeking high-level tools and methodology to help manage complexity and increase productivity. Recently, CAL dataflow language has been ...
We compare six different algorithms for localizing odor sources with mobile robots. Three algorithms are bio-inspired and mimic the behavior of insects when exposed to airborne pheromones. Two algorithms are based on probability and information theory, and ...
Nature is an incredibly complex system resulting from the interactions of many different interdependent species, composed of many individual organisms, which are in turn composed of an extremely large number of cells. In multi-cellular organisms, the paral ...
Inspired by the basic processes of molecular biology, our previous studies resulted in defining self-testing and self-organizing mechanisms made up of simple processes. The goal of our paper is to introduce a configurable molecule able to implement these b ...

Bio-inspired systems borrow three structural principles characteristic of living organisms: multicellular architecture, cellular division, and cellular differentiation. Implemented in silicon according to these principles, our cellular systems are endowed ...
Inspired by the basic processes of molecular biology, our previous studies resulted in defining a configurable molecule implementing self-replication and self-repair mechanisms made up of simple processes. The goal of our paper is to add error detection fe ...
