A Decentralized Algorithm for Self Assembling Structures with Modular Robots

by Bruno GabrichModular Robots July 23, 2017March 18, 2018One Comment

Recent work in the field of bio-inspired robotic systems has introduced designs for modular robots that are able to assemble into structures (e.g., bridges, landing platforms, fences) using their bodies as the building components. Yet, it remains an open question as to how to program large swarms of robotic modules so that the assembly task …
