Abstract

This paper argues in favor of evolvable hardware as a technique to improve the capability of on-board computers for deep space exploration. From architecture point of view, it analyzes the role of EHW in the multi-level structure of the intelligent system and describes the two mainly characters of the computer system building with EHW. It emphasizes the important of supercomputing capability and self-determination ability. In order to illuminate the implementation of an evolvable computer system, it describes a demo structure for object recognition that realizes image-matching function for space application.
