摘要：

Nature demonstrates amazing levels of fault tolerance; animals can survive injury, damage, wear and tear, and are under continual attack from infectious pathogens. This paper details inspiration from biology to provide fault tolerant electronic circuits. An artificial immune system (AIS) is used to detect faults and an embryonic array to quickly reconfigure around them. The AIS makes use of a negative selection algorithm to detect abnormal behaviour. The embryonic array takes its inspiration from the development of multi-cellular organisms; each cell contains all the information necessary to describe the complete individual. Should an electronic cell fail, its neighbours have the configuration data to take over the failed cell's functionality.
