Microelectronic Morphogenesis: Smart Materials with Electronics Assembling into Artificial Organisms

“…Microelectronic morphogenesis is the generation of form through microelectronics, using microelectronic information encoded in electronic memory, and we compare and contrast it with genetic morphogenesis, which is the generation of form through genetics using genetic information encoded in DNA. The fascination with the self‐organization of living organisms and inanimate processes and machines that capture even a small fraction of life's potential is apparent in human history and recent developments: from the mastery of fire to steam engine thermodynamics [ 10 ] and life as a non‐equilibrium process; [ 11 ] from chemical morphogenesis, [ 12,13 ] to mechanochemical pattern formation [ 14 ] and from von Neumann's self‐reproducing automata to mechanical self‐reproduction; [ 15,16 ] from Leonardo da Vinci's flying machines [ 17 ] and Rechenberg's evolving wings [ 18 ] to biomimetics, [ 19,20 ] living technology, [ 1 ] artificial cells, [ 21,22 ] soft robotics, [ 23 ] evolution of new materials, [ 24–26 ] evolvable hardware [ 27,28 ] and evolutionary robotics. [ 29 ] Inside cells, complex biological machines assemble, maintain, and copy themselves, performing multiscale tasks with precision and reliability, and evolving sustainably into an almost incomprehensible variety of structure and function over millions of years.…”
