Abstract
In this talk, first, the introduction of the concept of Evolvable Hardware (EHW) is made focussed on: basic concept of evolvable hardware, digital hardware evolution (gate-level evolvable hardware and function level evolvable hardware), also analogue hardware evolution and mechanical hardware evolution. The industrial applications of EHW are discussed, including : (a) cellular phone analog LSI EHW chip – installed in cellular phones since December 2001, (b) GHz-processor clock optimisation – improvement of clock frequency by EHW clock timing adjustment with GA, (c) high-speed data transfer, (d) (evolvable) femto-second laser system, (e) artificial hand -EHW implements a pattern recognition hardware specific to individuals, (f) EMG (electromyograph) prosthetic hand can adapt to individuals very quickly by EHW chip.
