电子系统，无论它们多么聪明和智能，还不能证明生物系统的可靠性。也许我们可以从这些经过数百万年进化而发展起来的过程中学习，以追求高度可靠的系统。这篇文章讨论了如何利用简单的胚胎细胞建立这样的系统，灵感来自生物学原理。我们说明了它们如何监控自己的功能完整性，以保护自己免受内部故障或恶劣环境的影响，以及如何修复由DNA突变或细胞死亡引起的故障，从而恢复完整的系统功能。
Electronic systems, no matter how clever and intelligent they are, cannot yet demonstrate the reliability that biological systems can. Perhaps we can learn from these processes, which have developed through millions of years of evolution, in our pursuit of highly reliable systems. This article discusses how such systems, inspired by biological principles, might be built using simple embryonic cells. We illustrate how they can monitor their own functional integrity in order to protect themselves from internal failure or from hostile environmental effects and how faults caused by DNA mutation or cell death can be repaired and thus full system functionality restored.
