Improved Leader Election for Self-Organizing Programmable Matter
Joshua J. Daymude, Robert Gmyr, Andrea W. Richa +2
We consider programmable matter that consists of computationally limited devices (called particles) that are able to self-organize in order to achieve some collective goal without…
On the Runtime of Universal Coating for Programmable Matter
Joshua J. Daymude, Zahra Derakhshandeh, Robert Gmyr +4
Imagine coating buildings and bridges with smart particles (also coined smart paint) that monitor structural integrity and sense and report on traffic and wind loads, leading to te…
Universal Coating for Programmable Matter
Zahra Derakhshandeh, Robert Gmyr, Andrea W. Richa +2
The idea behind universal coating is to have a thin layer of a specific substance covering an object of any shape so that one can measure a certain condition (like temperature or c…
An Algorithmic Framework for Shape Formation Problems in Self-Organizing Particle Systems
Zahra Derakhshandeh, Robert Gmyr, Andrea W. Richa +2
Many proposals have already been made for realizing programmable matter, ranging from shape-changing molecules, DNA tiles, and synthetic cells to reconfigurable modular robotics. E…
Leader Election and Shape Formation with Self-Organizing Programmable Matter
Joshua J. Daymude, Zahra Derakhshandeh, Robert Gmyr +4
We consider programmable matter consisting of simple computational elements, called particles, that can establish and release bonds and can actively move in a self-organized way, a…
Infinite Object Coating in the Amoebot Model
Zahra Derakhshandeh, Robert Gmyr, Andrea W. Richa +3
The term programmable matter refers to matter which has the ability to change its physical properties (shape, density, moduli, conductivity, optical properties, etc.) in a programm…
