Abstract

This paper considers the ability of an evolved circuit to acquire fault tolerance by including fault conditions within the fitness measure of the evolutionary process. A simple oscillator circuit, implemented on a Xilinx FPGA, showed a 12 fold increase in fault-tolerance when compared to a control oscillator using realistic faults.
