Autonomous Design in VLSI: Growing and Learning on Silicon

To-day no good solutions are known for the problem of a performing machine immersed within static or dynamic environments and meeting unexpected, unpredictable, unknown, new situations. Perhaps because no method can be found for the direct design of solutions that would meet this requirement, furthermore now in great demand. This paper presents the work we are developing to address that particular problem, of which abundant solutions ironically appear second nature to myriads of biological creatures.
