Abstract

We present the design of an interactive self-replicating loop, wherein the user can physically induce the loop's creation and then control its replication and destruction. After introducing the BioWall, a reconfigurable electronic wall for bio-inspired applications, we describe the design of our novel loop and delineate its hardware implementation in the wall.
