Evolved Collectives Combine Complex Internal Representations with Simple Outputs
Guilherme S. Y. Giardini, John F. Hardy, Carlo daCunha
Collective intelligence emerges from local interactions among agents with limited information, yet how internal controller organization relates to emergent collective order remains…
Using Preformed Resistive Random Access Memory to Create a Strong Physically Unclonable Function
Jack Garrard, John F. Hardy, Carlo daCunha +1
Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are a promising solution for identity verification and asymmetric encryption. In this paper, a new Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM) PUF…
Impact of Switching Layer Architecture on Power Consumption in RRAM
John F. Hardy, Jack A. Garrard, Guilherme S. Y. Giardini +1
This work demonstrates that porous helical WOx architectures enable a distinct low-power regime for planar ITO/WOx/ITO resistive random-access devices. While thin film and helical…
Evolving Neural Networks Reveal Emergent Collective Behavior from Minimal Agent Interactions
Guilherme S. Y. Giardini, John F. Hardy, Carlo R. da Cunha
Understanding the mechanisms behind emergent behaviors in multi-agent systems is critical for advancing fields such as swarm robotics and artificial intelligence. In this study, we…
Optimizing the Optical Properties of Tin Oxide Aerogels through Defect Passivation
John F. Hardy, Madison King, Stephanie Hurst +1
Tin oxide aerogels were synthesized using an epoxide-assisted technique and characterized with Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, and UV-Vis to study the effects of pos…
