Compilation and Biologically-Inspired Self-Assembly of Two-Dimensional Shapes
In this paper, we present a programming language approach for assembling an arbitrary two-dimensional shape from decentralized, identically-programmed agents. Our system compiles a predetermined global shape into a program that allows the agents to grow the shape via replication, using only location-based control mechanisms. In the global-to-local compilation phase, an input shape is decomposed...

متن کاملProgramming Methodology for Biologically-Inspired Self-Assembling Systems
We present a programming methodology for self-assembling complex structures from vast numbers of locally-interacting identically-programmed agents, using techniques inspired by developmental biology. We demonstrate this approach through two examples: shape formation on a reconfigurable sheet, and self-assembling two dimensional structures through replication. In each case, the desired global sh...
متن کاملBiologically inspired molecular assembly lines
This paper proposes a biologically inspired ‘molecular assembly line’ — an externally programmable polymeric chain along which molecules are shuttled between chain sites along an arbitrary pathway. Our hope is to construct a scaffold that mimics biological enzymes known as polyketide synthases in their ability to physically hand-off molecules between assembly sites or domains, thereby making al...
متن کاملDhi Yantra 09, Fourth Warft Workshop on Brain Modeling and Supercomputing, Chennai
Self-assembly is a pervasive phenomenon in which a disordered system of pre-existing components forms an organized structure or pattern as a consequence of specific, local interactions among the components themselves, without external direction. In particular, DNA self-assembly is the science of organizing DNA sequences into desired shape by annealing several synthetically prepared oligonucleot...
