Abstract

Evolvable hardware(EHW) is a dynamic field that brings together reconfigurable hardware, artificial intelligence, fault tolerance and autonomous systems. This paper gives an introduction to the field. The features that can be used to identify and classify evolvable hardware are the evolutionary algorithm, the implementation and the genotype representation. Evolvable hardware (EHW) is hardware that can change its own circuit structure by genetic learning to achieve maximum adaptation to the environment. In conventional EHW, the learning is executed by software on a computer.
