Single-Electron Information-Processing Circuit Mimicking Behavior of Fish Shoals

Abstract

In this study, we propose new single-electron circuits mimicking the behavior of a fish shoal for aiming to design the single-electron information-processing circuit to which the information processing method of multi-agent systems is applied. We here use single-electron oscillator circuits as main components. The outputs from the two-dimensional arrayed single-electron oscillators shows fish-swimming-like behavior, we confirmed by computer simulation. As a next step, we designed an additional circuit that can express how fishes swim while avoiding collisions. This function is a very important factor to mimic the behavior. Then, we confirmed its operation.
