Designing a Morphogenetic System for Evolvable Hardware

چکیده
Traditional approaches to evolvable hardware (EHW), using a direct encoding, have not scaled well with increases in problem complexity. To overcome this there have been moves towards encoding a growth process, which however have not shown a great deal of success to date. In this paper we present the design of a morphogenetic EHW model that has taken the salient features of biological processes and structures to produce an evolutionary and growth model that consistently outperforms a traditional EHW approach using a direct encoding, and scales well to larger, more complex, problems.

An Implementation of a Morphogenetic Evolvable Hardware System
Traditional approaches to evolvable hardware (EHW), using a direct encoding, have not scaled well with increases in problem complexity. To overcome this there have been moves towards encoding a growth process, however there has not been a great deal of success with these. In this paper we present a morphogenetic EHW system that uses a variable length chromosome on which a gene expression model ...
متن کاملTechnical report Hardware morphogenetic developmental system
Indirect genotype to phenotype mappings in the form of developmental systems may allow better scalability to larger phenotypes in evolvable hardware. This report reviews developmental systems used in evolvable hardware and it proposes a new classifications based on hardware characteristics. It then describes a genetic encoding and developmental system called the morphogenetic system which has b...
متن کاملOn Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication
A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...
متن کاملMorphogenetic Evolvable Hardware Controllers for Robot Walking
We propose to develop reactive robot leg controllers in hardware using a morphogenetic approach that incorporates both evolutionary and developmental processes. Evolvable hardware has been crippled by issues of scalability and viability of evolved designs that arise when evolving complex circuits on modern mainstream field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). To overcome these limitations requires...
متن کاملIssues in the Scalability of Gate-level Morphogenetic Evolvable Hardware
Traditional approaches to evolvable hardware (EHW), in which the field programmable gate array (FPGA) configuration is directly encoded, have not scaled well with increasing circuit and FPGA complexity. To overcome this there have been moves towards encoding a growth process, known as morphogenesis. Using a morphogenetic approach, has shown success in scaling gate-level EHW for a signal routing...
