Design method for a multi-layer bio-inspired self-healing hardware

After giving a general introduction of the Embryonics, which is short for the embryonic bio-inspired self-healing hardware, the basic design method of Embryonics is presented. Functional flow of circuit based on Embryonics is introduced by graph theory. A multi-layer bio-inspired self-healing hardware is introduced and descripted using graph theory too. The design method from current´s functional flow to the hardware realization based on the multi-layer Embryonics and the restrictions during the mapping and routing steps are discussed in the end. The graph theory based descriptions of the circuit function and the Embryonics´ structure provide a mathematic foundation for design automation, which could push Embryonics´ application effectively.
