Learning from Nature - First Self-Organizing Electronic Systems
Developed

Professor Peter Hofmann and his team at the Competence Center
Electrical and Electronic (EE) Architecture at the Technische
Universität Dresden (TU Dresden) have successfully developed the
first self-organizing electronic components. These so called
autonomous units form the basis for complex technical systems of the
future. For this purpose, the scientists have adopted the knowledge
of complex systems found in nature.

Organisms are structured according to the modular assembly concept –
cells form tissue, tissue forms organs and these in turn form the
