Self-Replication and Self-Assembly for Manufacturing
It has been argued that a central objective of nanotechnology is to make products inexpensively, and that self-replication is an effective approach to very low-cost manufacturing....

Axiomatic Scalable Neurocontroller Analysis via the Shapley Value
One of the major challenges in the field of neurally driven evolved autonomous agents is deciphering the neural mechanisms underlying their behavior. Aiming at this goal, we have d...

The Infection Algorithm: An Artificial Epidemic Approach for Dense Stereo Correspondence
We present a new bio-inspired approach applied to a problem of stereo image matching. This approach is based on an artificial epidemic process, which we call the infection algorith...

Through the Interaction of Neutral and Adaptive Mutations, Evolutionary Search Finds a Way
An evolutionary system that supports the interaction of neutral and adaptive mutations is investigated. Experimental results on a Boolean function and needle-in-haystack problems s...
