Robot control with biological cells

open access: yes, 2007
At present there exists a large gap in size, performance, adaptability and robustness between natural and artificial information processors for performing coherent perception-action tasks under real-time constraints.

A Systematic Review of Human‐Aware Systems in Manufacturing and Logistics: Overcoming Obstacles With Advanced Modeling Techniques

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study investigates human‐aware optimization in manufacturing and logistics using the ARCH model (2014–2024), focusing on China. It highlights how adaptive technologies and predictive analytics can enhance human–machine collaboration, reduce cognitive burden, and improve operational efficiency in digitally transforming industries.

Exploiting Environmental Computation in a Multi-Agent Model of Slime Mould

open access: yes, 2015
Very simple organisms, such as the single-celled amoeboid slime mould Physarum polycephalum possess no neural tissue yet, despite this, are known to exhibit complex biological and computational behaviour.

Not Extremely Plastic: Testing the Limits of Morphological Plasticity in Fungal Mycelia in Response to Soil Grazers

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.
Using image analysis to track the development of fungal networks in the presence of predators, we found that even in modular organisms, plasticity is more nuanced and limited than previously assumed. Our results challenge the long‐held notion that a modular body plan necessarily confers extreme plasticity.

Evolving Gene Regulatory Networks with Mobile DNA Mechanisms

open access: yes, 2013
This paper uses a recently presented abstract, tuneable Boolean regulatory network model extended to consider aspects of mobile DNA, such as transposons.

Myxomycete Biodiversity on Remote Islands of the Eastern Indian Ocean: A Comparison Between the Cocos (Keeling) and Christmas Islands

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
A study of the diversity of myxomycetes associated with remote islands in the Indian Ocean. ABSTRACT Myxomycetes are a widespread group of organisms but, given their inconspicuousness and the specialist knowledge needed to culture and identify them, there are many regions of the world where they have never been studied.

Slime mould computes planar shapes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Computing a polygon defining a set of planar points is a classical problem of modern computational geometry. In laboratory experiments we demonstrate that a concave hull, a connected alpha-shape without holes, of a finite planar set is approximated by ...

Fluid flows shaping organism morphology

open access: yes, 2018
A dynamic self-organized morphology is the hallmark of network-shaped organisms like slime moulds and fungi. Organisms continuously re-organize their flexible, undifferentiated body plans to forage for food. Among these organisms the slime mould Physarum

Slime Mould Games Based on Rough Set Theory

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2018
We define games on the medium of plasmodia of slime mould, unicellular organisms that look like giant amoebae. The plasmodia try to occupy all the food pieces they can detect. Thus, two different plasmodia can compete with each other.
