La recherche au Laboratoire de Systèmes Logiques se développe selon deux axes principaux: les systèmes bio-inspirés et les systèmes reconfigurables. La bio-inspiration vise la conception de nouvelles machines informatiques douées de propriétés tout à fait originales, jusqu'alors réservées au monde vivant: l'adaptation et l'évolution (machines évolutives), la croissance, l'autoréparation et l'autoréplication (machines embryoniques) et l'apprentissage (machines neuronales).
La reconfiguration vise la conception de systèmes informatiques originaux basés sur des circuits digitaux reconfigurables, tels que les réseaux logiques programmables sur le champ (field-programmable gate arrays ou FPGAs). Ces systèmes peuvent être taillés sur mesure pour une tâche donnée, ou peuvent s'adapter dynamiquement à des environnements changeants et à des spécifications incomplètes (robotique autonome, réseaux de neurones, etc.).
The Logic Systems Laboratory conducts
research along two primary axes: bio-inspired systems and reconfigurable
systems. The first line of research aims at developing novel bio-inspired computing
machines, as well as new computational methodologies based on ideas inspired by
nature. Such systems are endowed with capabilities usually associated with
living beings, such as: adaptation, evolution, growth, healing, replication,
and learning.
The second research axis involves the design of
novel reconfigurable systems, based on high-complexity programmable digital
circuits (such as field-programmable gate arrays, or FPGAs). Such systems can
be rendered architecturally optimal for a given task, as well as dynamically
adapt to changing environments or incomplete specifications (with applications
in fields such as autonomous robotics, neural networks, and more).
Des développements du Laboratoire de Systèmes Logiques effectués en collaboration ou sur mandat de l'économie ont porté sur les domaines suivants: machines embryoniques sur réseau de processeurs programmables (Université de York et Université de Ferrara), BioWall, un mur intelligent, et BioWatch, une montre géante autoréparatrice (Villa Reuge, Sainte-Croix, Fondation Leenaards, Lausanne), tissu POEtique reconfigurable (European Commission), processeurs VLIW (very long instruction word) à architecture sérielle (Alcatel Space, Gals).
