In this paper the topic of including feedback from sensors in the central pattern generator (CPG) for a hexapod robot realized through cellular neural networks (CNNs) is addressed. An approach based on local bifurcation of the CNN cells constituting the sub-units of the CPG network is introduced, allowing control of the direction of the robot. Suitable control can be realized by changing the value of the bias of the CNN cells. Moreover, inspired by the idea of Braitenberg creatures, purely reactive control of the hexapod direction is illustrated with an example of a robot able to avoid obstacles.

This paper presents state of the art methods for training compact universal CNN cells (or neurons) to represent arbitrary local Boolean functions. The design tools are analyzed and optimized such that they are capable to provide fast solutions for cells with more than 4 inputs. In particular, it is proved statistically that any arbitrary Boolean function with n=5 inputs (corresponding to a von Neumann CNN neighborhood) admits multinested cell realizations thus confirming a conjecture that was previously proven only for n<5. Several hints are also provided regarding the choice and the influence of various parameters of the design algorithms on the quality of the solution and the speed of finding it.

Concerns a novel structure called the simplicial CNN, which permits one to implement any Boolean/Gray-level function of any number of variables. This paper is devoted to explore novel circuit architectures for the implementation of the simplicial CNN based on resonant tunneling diodes (RTD). The final objective is to implement a fully programmable CNN in a hardware platform based on nanoelectronic devices.

The emergence of patterns in a global network, which consists of many connected local networks, is studied. In each local network one of some patterns is stored, which is selected autonomously by the system itself. It is found that global patterns appear in the global system, which are described in terms of 2 patterns stored in local networks as the background and the pattern itself. The relation between dynamics of the local network and the emergence of global patterns in the global network is discussed.

This paper presents a design technique which is used to realize associative memories via cellular neural networks. The proposed method can store every prototype vector as a memory vector and maximize the areas of basin of attraction of memory vectors in a certain sense. The network parameters are obtained by solving optimization problems known as generalized eigenvalue problems. Simulation results prove that our method is better than the existing ones.

In this communication we remark our experience in teaching CNN technologies at the Universita degli Studi di Catania in the course of Adaptive Systems. The main result regards the possibility of using the CNN subject to introduce further topics in circuits and dynamical systems. The students reached high level skills in the related field. Moreover they have developed personalized simulation tools that used to make more experiments confirming that CNN are really the real paradigm for complexity.

Image analysis algorithms are of great interest in the context of object-oriented coding schemes. In this paper a new analogic CNN algorithm for obtaining the motion estimation is illustrated, whereas the companion paper (Grassi and Grieco, 2002) focuses on the remaining steps of the object-oriented image analysis stage. Simulation results, carried out for Miss America and Claire video sequences, confirm the validity of the approach developed herein.

The inherent analogies between the defining equation of CNN and that of heat transfer are well known. In this paper, we explore the projection of a 3D thermal model of the soil on this kind of structure. In so doing, reliable and fast prediction of the thermodynamic behavior of soil subject to known boundary conditions can be obtained. That way, it is possible to characterize different kinds of soil in terms of its thermal signature. Based on that knowledge, and using an inverse approach, we perform the detection of buried land mines.

Image Processing Library was designed and is currently under construction for the Aladdin Visual Computer. The library reduces algorithm development time, provides efficient codes, error free operation in binary, and accurate operation in grayscale cases. It is expected that the library will help to spread the use of the CNN technology both in academic fields and in industry.
