Abstrakt

In this paper ongoing work on artificial developmental systems toward
evolution of computational machines is presented. Developmental systems
show promising features in the domain of scalability and adaptation. As such,
two examples demonstrating scalability and adaptation are presented. The
general goal of the work presented plays a part toward an understanding of the
interplay between evolution, development and environment toward evolvable
machines. Further, the artificial organisms considered are all implemented in
hardware, i.e. true machines.
