Road planning with slime mouldEpilogueBibliography; IndexA Physarum machine is a programmable amorphous biological computer experimentally implemented in the vegetative state of true slime mould Physarum polycephalum. It comprises an amorphous yellowish mass with networks of protoplasmic veins, programmed by spatial configurations of attracting and repelling gradients. This book demonstrates how to create experimental Physarum machines for computational geometry and optimization, distributed manipulation and transportation, and general-purpose computation. Being very cheap to make and easy to maintain, the machine also functions on a wide range of sWorld Scientific series on nonlinear science.Series A,Monographs and treatises ;v. 74.PhysarumPhysarum polycephalumComputersPhysarum.Physarum polycephalum.Computers.004006.3/2Adamatzky Andrew898136MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807323003321Physarum machines4030000UNINA
