Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) It is known that amoeba has computational ability on the basis of its self-organized movements in spite of simple structure. Using its photoavoidance behavior and fluctuations of the movements, solution search algorithms for optimization problems such as constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) and satisfiability problem (SAT) have been developed. We recently successfully implemented the amoeba-inspired algorithms for solution search of CSP and SAT using simple electronic circuits. In this report, we present the circuit architecture, design, and experimental results of the circuit operations.
