Soft Cells for Programmable Self-Assembly of Robotic Modules
Programmable self-assembly of chained robotic systems holds potential for the automatic construction of complex robots from a minimal set of building blocks. However, current robotic platforms are limited to modules of uniform rigidity, which results in a limited range of obtainable morphologies and thus functionalities of the system. To address these challenges, we investigate in this paper th...
متن کاملA Rule Synthesis Algorithm for Programmable Stochastic Self-Assembly of Robotic Modules
Programmable self-assembly of modular robots offers promising means for structure formation at different scales. Rule-based approaches have been previously employed for distributed control of stochastic self-assembly processes. The assembly rate in the process directly depends on the concurrency level induced by the employed ruleset, i.e. the number of concurrent steps necessary to build one in...
متن کاملProgrammable Self-assembly with Chained Soft Cells: An Algorithm to Fold into 2-D Shapes
Programmable self-assembly of chained modules holds potential for the automatic shape formation of morphologically adapted robots. However, current systems are limited to modules of uniform rigidity, which restricts the range of obtainable morphologies and thus the functionalities of the system. To address these challenges, we previously introduced “soft cells” as modules that can obtain differ...
متن کاملProgrammable Three-Dimensional Self-Assembly
The development of modern technology has emphasized the utility of nanomaterials and efficient design of nanostructures. Self-assembly is a powerful, bottom-up approach for the fabrication of nanomaterials. The Hammer and Tongs method that we have developed signifies the advent of a holistic approach to programmable, three-dimensional selfassembly. This method integrates biochemistry and chemic...
متن کاملSynthesizing Rulesets for Programmable Robotic Self-assembly: A Case Study Using Floating Miniaturized Robots
Programmable stochastic self-assembly of modular robots provides promising means to formation of structures at different scales. Formalisms based on graph grammars and rule-based approaches have been previously published for controlling the self-assembly process. While several rule-synthesis algorithms have been proposed, formal synthesis of rulesets has only been shown for self-assembly of abs...
