Reviews

From the reviews: This book presents various contributions to the construction of life-like artifacts that globally show adaptation and evolution, as in the artificial life paradigm. ! The book is unique in that it attempts to mix various ideas on building artificial life in hardware ! . the book moves toward new methods and tools that represent the cutting edge of research. ! this book is appropriate for research; in the long term, it can serve as a reference.
