Abstract

Embryonics is a long-term research project attempting to draw inspiration from the biological process of ontogeny, to implement novel digital computing machines endowed with better fault-tolerant capabilities. This article discusses the degree of bio-inspiration attained while also attempting to start a similarity debate on various implementation decisions, on why and how nature developed its subtle, intricated means of growing, healing and reproducing.
