Thompson designed an electric circuit to perform a tone-discrimination task – it listens to a sound, and can tell you which of two expected tones it has heard. Thompson then The critical part: the evolved circuit was selected not as a simulation, but by making a physical version and - experimentally - measuring how well it performed. This line in the abstract is far too modest: a greater respect for the natural properties of the implementation medium than is usual – because what h...

Abstract Tensegrity structures present new possibilities to the field of structural engineering, owing to their ability to efficiently distribute compressive loads associated with their non-orthogonal design. Previous research has shown that when pretensioned, tensegrities exhibit higher resistance to compressive loading. However, over-tensioning can have adverse effects, reducing the tensegrities overall resistance to compressive loading. The geometry of a tensegrity affects how the structure ...
