On chirality of slime mould (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. Left-right patterning and lateralised behaviour is an ubiquitous aspect of plants and animals. The mechanisms linking cellular chirality to the large-scale asymmetry of multicellular structures are incompletely understood... Read More about On chirality of slime mould.

Supplier selection based on evidence theory and analytic network process (2014)
Journal Article

© IMechE 2014. The supplier selection is a key component of the supply chain management. Existing methods for the supplier selection are based on analytic network process. They can handle the interdependence of decision attributes; however, these met... Read More about Supplier selection based on evidence theory and analytic network process.

Physarum in silicon: the Greek motorways study (2016)
Journal Article

© 2014, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. Physarum polycephalum has repeatedly, during the last decade, demonstrated that has unexpected computing abilities. While the plasmodium of P. polycephalum can effectively solve several geographical... Read More about Physarum in silicon: the Greek motorways study.

A computation in a cellular automaton collider rule 110 (2016)
Book Chapter

A cellular automaton collider is a finite state machine build of rings of one-dimensional cellular automata. We show how a computation can be performed on the collider by exploiting interactions between gliders (particles, localisations). The constru...

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...

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...
