Comparing and modeling distributed control strategies for miniature self-assembling robots
— We propose two contrasting approaches to the scalable distributed control of a swarm of self-assembling miniaturized robots, specifically the formation of chains of a desired ...

A scalable and distributed approach for self-assembly and self-healing of a differentiated shape
— As the ability to produce a large number of small, simple robotic agents improves, it becomes essential to control the behavior of these robots in such a way that the sum of th...
