From the concepts introduced in Chapter
1
it becomes clear that, as the name suggests, evolutionary hardware (EHW) is hardware that offers the capability to change its structure and behaviour in order to automatically optimise its operation for a specific task or environment. Taking inspiration from biological organisms and natural evolution in order to create this kind of hardware system and develop appropriate optimisation methods and algorithms requires not only changes to hardware during manufacture, but frequent and rapid changes. Today’s hardware systems are generally not capable of physically changing, extending or reproducing themselves beyond options that have already been built in at design time, giving rise to the large family of reconfigurable hardware platforms as the most suitable candidates for EHW research and applications.
