Abstract

For living organisms, the robustness property is capital. For almost all of them, robustness rhymes with selfrepairing. Indeed, organisms are subject to various injuries brought by the environment. To maintain their integrity, organisms are able to regenerate dead parts of themselves. This mechanism, commonly named self-repairing, is interesting to reproduce. Many works exist about self-repairing in robotics and electronics but fewer are in our domain of interest, artificial embryogenesis. In this paper, we show the self-repairing abilities of our model, Cell2Organ, designed to generate artificial creatures for artificial worlds. This model has previously been presented in [1].
