• CA-NEAT: Evolved Compositional Pattern Producing Networks for Cellular Automata Morphogenesis and Replication 

      Nichele, Stefano; Ose, Mathias Berild; Risi, Sebastian; Tufte, Gunnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Cellular Automata (CA) are a remarkable example of morphogenetic system, where cells grow and self-organise through local interactions. CA have been used as abstractions of biological development and artificial life. Such ...
    • A single neural cellular automaton for body-brain co-evolution 

      Pontes Filho, Sidney; Walker, Kathryn; Najarro, Elias; Nichele, Stefano; Risi, Sebastian (Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2022)
      The discovery of complex multicellular organism development took millions of years of evolution. The genome of such a multicellular organism guides the development of its body from a single cell, including its control ...
    • Towards a Plant Bio-Machine 

      Nichele, Stefano; Risi, Sebastian; Tufte, Gunnar; Beloff, Laura (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Plants are very efficient computing machines. They are able to sense diverse environmental conditions and quickly react through chemical and electrical signaling. In this paper, we present an interface between plants and ...
