Abstract

Evolvable Hardware (EHW) has been proposed as a new method for designing systems for real-world applications. In this paper it is applied for evolving a prosthetic hand controller. It is shown that better generalization performance than neural networks can be obtained. The proposed architecture is based on digital logic gates and its configuration is determined by two separate steps of evolution.
