Issues in Self-Repairing Robotic Self-Assembly
Robot swarms provide interesting and potentially very useful examples of self-organizing systems. This chapter focuses on a specific approach, dubbed “active self-assembly”, for constructing arbitrary shapeswith swarms of identical and identically programmed robots. Important, open issues are identified in the specific context of active self-assembly, but they are of more general applicability....
متن کاملSelf-Assembly and Self-Construction
The spontaneous increase of complexity in nature from the formation of elements, followed by the formation of compounds, both inorganic and organic, leading to the emergence of life -from a single cell to multi-cellular organisms -and the later formation of communities followed by the emergence of new technologies where complex structures are created by a humans is probably the most important p...
متن کاملExperiments in Stochastic Self Assembly
The reaction rate equations of chemical kinetics provide a useful model for molecular self assembly, which can be exhibited as a continuous-time, continuous-space limit under the LLN (law of large numbers) scaling. The model takes the form of a set of first order, usually nonlinear ODEs describing the concentrations of the various reactants. With explicit solutions in mind, these systems have r...
متن کاملSelf-assembly in chemical systems
The development of a simple approach to studying self-assembly processes in the chemical laboratory began with an investigation of the donor/acceptor complexes formed between (a) crown ethers, like bisparaphenylene-34crown10, and 4,4 '-bipyridinium dications, such as paraquat, and (b) tetracationic cyclophanes, like cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene), and neutral substrates, such as 1.4dimethoxyben...
متن کاملIntrinsic Universality in Self-Assembly
We show that the Tile Assembly Model exhibits a strong notion of universality where the goal is to give a single tile assembly system that simulates the behavior of any other tile assembly system. We give a tile assembly system that is capable of simulating a very wide class of tile systems, including itself. Specifically, we give a tile set that simulates the assembly of any tile assembly syst...
