We overview the basis of Elementary Cellular Automata and Wolfram’s Classes, subsequently we show a technique known as Memory Based Rule Analysis, to extract complex systems from a family of chaotic discrete dynamical system. Cases of study rules 30... Read More about Transition dynamics to complex rules in elementary cellular automata from Wolfram classes.

The Physarum polycephalum actin network: Formalisation, topology and morphological correlates with computational ability (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The plasmodial form of slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a macroscopic acellular organism that is capable of apparently intelligent behaviour, yet it lacks any features usually associated with intelligence. In this investigation, we study the morp... Read More about The Physarum polycephalum actin network: Formalisation, topology and morphological correlates with computational ability.

Nano-assembly with cells from particle interaction based on collisions of mobile localizations in cellular automata (2013)

An automatic process is proposed by construct nano-assambly devices, derived from a set of synchorinsed collisions between multiple particles, such an automation is based on programming regular expressions and finite state machines.

Metachronal waves in cellular automata: Cilia-like manipulation in actuator arrays (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Paramecium is covered by cilia. It uses the cilia to swim and transport food particles to its mouth. The cilia are synchronised into a collective action by propagating membrane potential and mechan- ical properties of their underlying membrane and th...

UAV horizon tracking using memristors and cellular automata visual processing (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)s can control their altitude and orientation using the horizon as a reference. Typically this task is performed via edge-detection vision processing techniques implemented in a computer or digital electronics. We demonst...

Design of a hybrid robot control system using memristor-model and ant-inspired based information transfer protocols (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It is not always possible for a robot to process all the information from its sensors in a timely manner and thus quick and yet valid approximations of the robot's situation are needed. Here we design hybrid control for a robot within this limit usin...

Does the D.C. response of memristors allow robotic short-term memory and a possible route to artificial time perception? (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Time perception is essential for task switching, and in the mammalian brain appears alongside other processes. Memristors are electronic components used as synapses and as models for neurons. The d.c. response of memristors can be considered as a typ...

Manipulating with excitations: Waves or gliders? (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Excitable media are classical examples of un- conventional computing devices. Using waves to represent information and wave interactions to represent information processing, excitable media achieve computation versatility comparable to traditional te...

Beyond Markov chains, towards adaptive memristor network-based music generation (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We undertook a study of the use of a memristor network for music generation, making use of the memristor's memory to go beyond the Markov hypothesis. Seed transition matrices are created and populated using memristor equations, and which are shown to...

Manipulating objects with gliders in cellular automata (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Micro-scale manipulation of objects is a growing requirement in specialised industries, especially those related to assembly of fragile micro-components. Widely implemented techniques in robotics and automation do not always cope with the delicate na... Read More about Manipulating objects with gliders in cellular automata.

A virtual accelerator that smashes together glider-like particles inside a cellular automaton can perform computations, say researchers. By KFC [http://www.technologyreview.com/printer_friendly_blog.aspx?id=26808]

Comparison of ant-inspired gatherer allocation approaches using memristor-based environmental models (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Memristors are used to compare three gathering techniques in an already-mapped environment where resource locations are known. The All Site model, which apportions gatherers based on the modeled memristance of that path, proves to be good at increasi...

Neuromorphic computing with memristors: Preliminary experimental results (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Individual memristors have been observed demonstrating neuron-like spiking patterns. It has been shown
elsewhere that memristors provide superior modelling for neurons then the Hodgkin-Huxley model. Due to
