Neural Cellular Automata for Top-Down Engineering of Self-Organising Systems

University of York

Department of Computer Science

About the Project. Self-organisation is a property of many natural systems, where local interactions among individuals give rise to patterns and behaviours at the global level—for example, flocks of birds collectively avoiding a predator, or the collective decision-making process of honey bees' nest site selection [1].
