“…Cellular automata has been an ongoing field of research in computer science since the early work of Stanislas Ulam who, in the 1940's, investigated the evolution of graphic constructions generated by simple rules [7]. The cellular automata paradigm has been the basis for several control methodologies [1]- [4], [6], [8], [10]. The concept and theory for a Cellular Robotic System (CRS) was proposed in [1], [6].…”

Abstract-In this paper we present generic distributed algorithms for assembling and repairing shapes using modular self-reconfiguring robots. The algorithms work in the sliding cube model. Each module independently evaluates a set of local rules using different evaluation models. Two methods are used to determine the correctness of the algorithms-a graph analysis technique which can prove the rule set is correct for specific instances of the algorithm, and a statistical technique which can produce arbitrary bounds on the likelihood that the rule set functions correctly. An extension of the assembly algorithm can be used to produce arbitrary non-cantilevered convex shapes without holes. The algorithms have been implemented and evaluated in simulation.

“…The approach we are proposing is based on the assumption that the role of the supervisor is not essential in scheduling the sub-goals but, on the contrary, a common goal can be reached by a cooperative behavior of many agents acting asynchronously [l, 2, 3, 4, 5,6,7,8,91. In this context the "global goal" does not coincide with the goals of'the individual agents but emerges from their cooperation through the completion of simple sub-goals.…”

Aspects of self-organization are presented in this paper. Computer simulations as .well as a real prototypical implementation are used to illustrate the approach proposed. Results of simulations are presented to compare different strategies of self-organization enabling a system of autonomous robots t o form a chain between two landmarks in a conipletely unknown environment. This chain implicitely represents a path between any two points of the environment without an. explicit representation of free space (no single roboi has a global map of the environment). The experimental part, even i f restricted to a few robots, demonstrates that the set of stimuli-action processes used in the sirnulaiions are indeed feasible on real systems.
