OF SHAPE IN SELF-ASSEMBLY

The experiments from last term (see videos below) have been complemented by research done and published by the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Department of Informatics in the University of Zurich and the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems in Zurich, Switzerland. The drawing below shows how the conclusions of this research have helped me define morphology and mix of the elements and understand how a change in these characteristics of the components affects the final structure, it’s aggregation patterns, assembly speed and stability of the system and to overcome assembling issues such as magnetic shielding (Miyashita et al, 2009).
