Abstract :
Discusses automatic generation of logic circuits on evolvable hardware (EHW). It is a major problem for a conventional EHW that the evolution process needs a large number of trials. To solve the problem, a new method is presented, which consists of logical cells and connection arranged in a parallel style. The advantages and problems of this method are discussed through experiment: generation of a Khepera robot control circuit. Analysis of the generated circuit makes environment recognition and behaviour decision of the robot possible
