Abstract :
This paper introduces evolvable hardware (EHW) chips currently being developed by the Evolvable Systems Laboratory at Electrotechnical Laboratory in MITI RWC (Real World Computing) project; a neural network EHW chip capable of autonomous reconfiguration, a data compression EHW chip for printing, and an adaptive control EHW chip for use in prosthetic hands and robot navigation. The authors also introduce the latest activities, including an analogue EHW chip for cellular phones, an EHW-based clock timing chip, and an EHW-based femto-second laser system
