Towards Physarum Engines

open access: yesApplied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2012
The slime mould Physarumpolycephalum is a suitable candidate organism for soft-matter robotics because it exhibits controllable transport, movement and guidance behaviour.

Basic Transitions of Physarum Polycephalum [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of computer science and information systems, 2015
The main charter of this work is the organism Physarum polycephalum, in particular plasmodium, Physarum's vegetative phase. During this latter form, the organism is more active and moves searching for food. Plasmodium behaves like a giant amoeba, and more interestingly, its way of foraging can be interpreted as a computation.

PhysarumSoft - a Software Tool for Programming Physarum Machines and Simulating Physarum Games [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of computer science and information systems, 2015
In the paper, we describe selected functionality of the current version of a new software tool, called PhysarumSoft, developed for programming Physarum machines and simulating Physarum games. The tool was designed for the Java platform. A Physarum machine is a biological computing device implemented in the plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum or ...

The capacity constraint physarum solver

open access: yesJournal of Computational Science, 2022
Physarum polycephalum inspired algorithm (PPA), also known as the Physarum Solver, has attracted great attention. By modelling real-world problems into a graph with network flow and adopting proper equations to calculate the distance between the nodes in the graph, PPA could be used to solve system optimization problems or user equilibrium problems ...

All Organisms Can Be Anesthetized, but There's No Point? [PDF]

open access: yesBioessays
ABSTRACT Because of their interest in medicine, most studies on anesthesia have historically focused on the nervous systems of animals. This has often led to the neglect of the fact that all life forms have the potential to be anesthetized. Anesthetics target proteins, such as four‐domain voltage‐dependent Na+/Ca2⁺ channels (4D‐NaV/CaV) and glutamate ...

An active poroelastic model for mechanochemical patterns in protoplasmic droplets of Physarum polycephalum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Motivated by recent experimental studies, we derive and analyze a twodimensional model for the contraction patterns observed in protoplasmic droplets of Physarum polycephalum.

Simulating Transport Networks With a Physarum Foraging Model

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Designing effective transport networks can be considered as one of the most debated problems in the area of computational intelligence. Some nature-inspired algorithms have shown excellent abilities in the adaptive network construction. In this aspect, a

A Physarum-Inspired Decision-Making Strategy for Multisource Task Searching of Mobile Robots

open access: yesComplexity, 2020
In the real world, there are many different kinds of sources, such as light, sound, and gas, distributed randomly over an area. Source search can be carried out by robotic system in applications.

Slime mould tactile sensor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Slime mould P. polycephalum is a single cells visible by unaided eye. The cells shows a wide spectrum of intelligent behaviour. By interpreting the behaviour in terms of computation one can make a slime mould based computing device.
