With adaptive problem solving, we take a biologically-inspired approach to both stochastic optimization and search in order to enable a spacecraft to adapt its environment-specific bevahior in-situ.
Currently, there is a research effort in Evolvable Hardware being driven towards two purposes: the synthesis of circuits of medium to high complexity; and the design of reconfigurable architectures that facilitate the system evolvability and on-chip implementation of the evolved circuits. This work addresses these issues by describing the evolution of Digital to Analog Converters (DACs).
This paper introduces the concept of polymorphic electronics (polytronics)- referring to electronics with superimposed built-in functionality.
In this paper we describe the initial development of efficient mechanisms for smart sensing which will lead to higher quality data.
Outer solar system exploration and missions to comets and planets with severe environmental conditions require long-term survivability of space systems. This challenge has recently been approached with new ideas, such as using mechanisms for hardware adaptation inspired from biology.
