人类有没有可能建造出难以捉摸的“永久移动”？我们仍然远远不能设计出有保证的有限寿命的系统，更不用说那些我们可以自信地期望在出现故障的情况下独立运行的系统了。例如，Beagle II火星任务刚刚因故障而失败，更糟糕的是，哥伦比亚航天飞机遭遇了同样的命运，失去了许多人的生命。在这种背景下，容错是可靠系统研究的一个越来越重要的方面，这并不令人惊讶。也许，如果我们从大自然中学习，我们就可以设计出能够容忍错误并能够正常运行的系统。经过数百万年的进化，生物已经形成了这样的特征。它们是基于细胞的系统，拥有免疫系统，对外来入侵者造成的故障提供了无与伦比的防御。因此，受生物学启发的通用容错硬件系统因此应该是基于细胞的，并具有自然界中发现的一些免疫防御特征，这似乎是直觉的。本文是对目前英国西部大学胚胎学(胚胎学电子学)研究工作的扩展。它将基于胚胎细胞阵列的系统的内部自我修复特性与受自然先天免疫系统启发的即时防御层相结合。
Will mankind ever be able to construct the elusive ‘perpetuum mobile’? We are still far from being able to design systems with a guaranteed finite lifetime, let alone those that we can confidently expect to function unaided in the presence of faults. For example, the Beagle II Mars mission just failed due to malfunction and, worse, the Columbia Space Shuttle suffered the same fate with the loss of many lives. In this context, it is unsurprising that fault tolerance is an increasing emphasis of research into reliable systems. Perhaps if we learn from nature we could design systems, which are tolerant against faults and are able to function properly. Through millions of years of evolution, living things have developed such characteristics. They are cell-based systems that possess an immune system providing an unparalleled defence against faults caused by foreign invaders. It therefore seems intuitive that a generic fault-tolerant hardware system that is inspired by biology should therefore be cell-based and possess some of the immune defence characteristics found in nature. This paper extends the current work on Embryonics (embryological electronics) at the University of the West of England. It combines internal self-healing characteristics of embryonic cellular array based systems with an instant defence layer, inspired by nature’s innate immune system.
