Project Description:
Andy Adamatzky, a computer scientist at the University of the West of England, and a team of Japanese researchers built logic gates that operate on soldier crabs by constructing mazes in the shape of a computer's logic gates. They chased two swarms of crabs as inputs from one end of the gate to the other, demonstrating how a living, random system can lead to useful order. These kinds of "biological computers" are demonstrated by organisms like the slime mold, an aggregation that grows towards patches of food with the organic structures reminiscent of network engineering.
