The way combining intelligent technology with hardware technology to study real-world applications is one of the most important methodologies in the field of EHW. This paper designs a novel evolvable hardware engine for predictive lossless image compression in the perspective of hardware, and firstly implements the whole engine on reconfigurable hardware. As a result of the high-speed pipeline ...

In robotics, it is not enough only to evolve the control circuit...

Evolutionary systems based on genetic algorithms (GAs) are common nowadays. One of the recent uses of such systems is in the burgeoning eld of evolvable hardware which involves, among others, the use of FPGAs as a platform on which evolution takes place. In this paper, we describe the implementation of Discipulus Simplex, an autonomous evolvable system that controls the walking of our six-legge...

This paper describes a complete FPGA implemented intrinsic evolvable system which is employed as a novel approach to automatic design of spatial image filters for two given types of noise. The genotype-phenotype representation of the proposed evolvable system is inspired by the Cartesian Genetic Programming and the function level evolution. The innovative feature of the proposed system is that ...

Recently there has been a great interest in the design and study of evolvable systems based on Arti cial Life principles in order to control the behavior of physically embedded systems such as a mobile robot. This paper studies an evolutionary navigation system for a mobile robot using a Boolean function approach implemented on gate-level evolvable hardware (EHW). The task of the mobile robot i...

Reuse will become increasingly important as larger digital and analog circuits are created by the techniques of the field of evolvable hardware. This paper discusses the ways by which genetic programming can facilitate reuse and the associated advantages of using a developmental process.

A complete approach to self-contained evolvable hardware, called self-evolving hardware, is presented. Selfevolving hardware implements the entire evolutionary process and reconfigurable area inside a single FPGA. Unlike previous hardware implementations, self-evolving hardware is capable of evolving both logic and connectivity at run-time. Self-evolving hardware increases the speed, flexibilit...

Now a days space vehicles and other electronic hardware also demands that the architectures should be small, speed in operation, low power consumption, small in area and be reconfigurable in unexpected environments. The evolvable hardware (EHW) or evolutionary algorithm used to design the desired circuit automatically. Genetic algorithm is the commonly used evolutionary algorithm. EHW, because ...
