“…Artificial chemical computing has been the topic of several contributions in recent years. Hjemlfelt et al [21], Okamoto et al [30], and Mills et al [28], for example, investigated the possibilities of realizing artificial neural networks or Turing machines in vitro; Arkin [5] discovered computational functions in biochemical reaction networks; Adleman realized a DNA-based solution of a combinatorical problem [3]; and Adamatzki et al [2,32,33] proposed the use of oscillating reactions like the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction for mobile robot control. Artificial chemical computing has been used for control tasks, especially for mobile robots.…”

This article demonstrates a new method of programming artificial chemistries. It uses the emerging capabilities of the system's dynamics for information-processing purposes. By evolution of metabolisms that act as control programs for a small robot one achieves the adaptation of the internal metabolic pathways as well as the selection of the most relevant available exteroceptors. The underlying artificial chemistry evolves efficient information-processing pathways with most benefit for the desired task, robot navigation. The results show certain relations to such biological systems as motile bacteria.

“…Nevertheless, the complication of problems to be solved compels to design more and more sophisticated devices. The most important and decisive point is designing reaction-diffusion media (see Rambidi et al, 1998).The key important feature of light-sensitive excitable media is that they store input information during rather long period of time. Periodical process of stored image transformation begins after projecting an image onto a thin layer of the medium (Rambidi and Maximychev, 1995).…”

“…This method is robust, but requires Peltier elements and, therefore, lacks the scalability demanded from a computational viewpoint. An alternative means for controlling oscillations in BZ marbles is illumination with visible light, as the BZ medium is proven to be a light-sensitive chemical system due to the photochemical properties of the catalyst [19,34,29,41,48,48,53].…”

A liquid marble is a liquid droplet coated by a hydrophobic power. The liquid marble does not wet adjacent surfaces and therefore can be manipulated as a dry soft body. A Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction is an oscillatory chemical reaction exhibiting waves of oxidation. We demonstrate how to make a photo-sensor from BZ medium liquid marbles. We insert electrodes into a liquid marble, prepared from BZ solution and coated with polyethylene powder. The electrodes record a potential difference which oscillates due to oxidation wave-fronts crossing the electrodes. When the BZ marble is illuminated by a light source, the oxidation wave-fronts are hindered and, thus, the electrical potential recorded ceases to oscillate. We characterise several types of responses of BZ marble photosensors to various stimuli, and provide explanations of the recorded activity. BZ liquid marble photosensors may find applications in the fields of liquid electronics, soft robotics and unconventional computing.
