Abstract

In Nature, the intrinsic cooperation between organism's parts is capital. Most living systems are composed of organs, functional units specialized for specific actions. In our last research, we developed an evolutionary model able to generate artificial organs. This paper deals with the assemby of organs.We show, through experimentation, the development of an artificial organism composed of four digital organs able to produce a self-feeding organism. This kind of structure has applications in the mophogenetic-engineering of future nano and bio robots.
