  2. Self-replicating machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-replicating_machine

    A detailed conceptual proposal for a self-replicating machine was first put forward by mathematician John von Neumann in lectures delivered in 1948 and 1949, when he proposed a kinematic model of self-reproducing automata as a thought experiment.

  3. Robert Freitas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Freitas

    In 2004, Freitas and Ralph Merkle coauthored and published Kinematic Self-Replicating Machines, a comprehensive survey of the field of physical and hypothetical self-replicating machines. [12] In 2009, Freitas was awarded the Feynman Prize [13] in theoretical nanotechnology.

  4. Von Neumann universal constructor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_universal...

    Von Neumann's System of Self-Replication Automata with the ability to evolve (Figure adapted from Luis Rocha's Lecture Notes at Binghamton University [6]).i) the self-replicating system is composed of several automata plus a separate description (an encoding formalized as a Turing 'tape') of all the automata: Universal Constructor (A), Universal Copier (B), operating system (C), extra ...

  5. Self-replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-replication

    Self-replication is a fundamental feature of life. It was proposed that self-replication emerged in the evolution of life when a molecule similar to a double-stranded polynucleotide (possibly like RNA) dissociated into single-stranded polynucleotides and each of these acted as a template for synthesis of a complementary strand producing two double stranded copies. [4]

  6. Self-replicating spacecraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-replicating_spacecraft

    The sentient machines are descended from an uncrewed factory ship that was to be self replicating, but suffered radiation damage and went off course, eventually landing on Titan around 1,000,000 BC. Manifold: Space, Stephen Baxter's novel, starts with the discovery of alien self-replicating machines active within the Solar system.

    An advanced artificial intelligence system has crossed a “red line” after successfully replicating itself without any human assistance, researchers have revealed.. The team who made the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Self-replicating...

    A self-replicating machine is a type of autonomous robot that is capable of reproducing itself autonomously using raw materials found in the environment, thus exhibiting self-replication in a way analogous to that found in nature.

  9. RepRap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RepRap

    All of the plastic parts for the machine on the right were produced by the machine on the left. Adrian Bowyer (left) and Vik Olliver (right) are members of the RepRap project. RepRap (a contraction of replicating rapid prototyper ) is a project to develop low-cost 3D printers that can print most of their own components.
