商品描述
This book proposes an innovative concept of chemical AI and discusses fundamental technologies, methods, and theories used for Molecular Cybernetics. Research on so-called "chemical artificial intelligence" (CAI) is an emerging field with the aim of constructing information-processing systems with learning capabilities based on chemical methodologies. This can be regarded as an attempt to reconstruct Cybernetics using molecular based systems. Many chemical reaction systems with computational abilities are proposed, but most are fixed functions that deliver molecular output for a given molecular input. On the other hand, chemical AI is a system with learning capability; namely, the output should be variable and gradually change upon repeated molecular inputs.
Toward "multicellular artificial cell systems" in Molecular Cybernetics, in this book, fundamental technologies, methods, and theories used for
(1) assembling CAI systems consisting of many liposomes with different functions (Liposome Assembling Technologies),
(2) achieving communication over two lipid-bilayer compartments (Molecular Communication),
(3) achieving recursiveness and plasticity in chemical reaction systems (Memory and Learning circuit), and
(4) reconfiguring the network topology by liposome deformation (Molecular Actuation) are accommodated.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提出了一個創新的化學人工智慧（chemical AI）概念，並討論了用於分子控制論（Molecular Cybernetics）的基本技術、方法和理論。所謂的「化學人工智慧」（CAI）研究是一個新興領域，旨在基於化學方法構建具有學習能力的信息處理系統。這可以被視為使用分子基系統重建控制論的一種嘗試。許多具有計算能力的化學反應系統被提出，但大多數是固定功能，對於給定的分子輸入提供分子輸出。另一方面，化學人工智慧是一個具有學習能力的系統；也就是說，輸出應該是可變的，並且在重複的分子輸入下逐漸改變。
在分子控制論中，朝向「多細胞人工細胞系統」的方向，本書涵蓋了用於以下方面的基本技術、方法和理論：
(1) 組裝由多個具有不同功能的脂質體組成的CAI系統（脂質體組裝技術），
(2) 在兩個脂質雙層隔室之間實現通信（分子通信），
(3) 在化學反應系統中實現遞歸性和可塑性（記憶與學習電路），以及
(4) 通過脂質體變形重新配置網絡拓撲（分子驅動）。
