Excitable systems, particularly spatially extended media, exhibit a wide variety of travelling patterns and different modes of interaction. The Belousov-Zhabo-tinsky [1] (BZ) reaction is the most well known and extensively studied example of non-line... Read More about Reaction-diffusion controllers for robots.

Artificial symbiosis in EcoBots (2009)
Book Chapter
Ieropoulos, I. A., Greenman, J., Melhuish, C., & Horsfield, I. (2009). Artificial symbiosis in EcoBots. In A. Adamatzky, & M. Komosinski (Eds.), Artificial Life Models in Hardware (185-211). London: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-84882-530-7_9

Truly autonomous robotic systems will be required to abstract energy from the environment in order to function. Energetic autonomy refers to the ability of an agent, to maintain itself in a viable state for long periods of time. Its behaviour must be... Read More about Artificial symbiosis in EcoBots.
