The Value of Information in Multi-Scale Feedback Systems
Louisa Jane Di Felice, Ada Diaconescu, Payam Zahadat +1
Complex adaptive systems (CAS) can be described as systems of information flows dynamically interacting across scales in order to adapt and survive. CAS often consist of many compo…
A Robot to Shape your Natural Plant: The Machine Learning Approach to Model and Control Bio-Hybrid Systems
Mostafa Wahby, Mary Katherine Heinrich, Daniel Nicolas Hofstadler +5
Bio-hybrid systems---close couplings of natural organisms with technology---are high potential and still underexplored. In existing work, robots have mostly influenced group behavi…
Artificial Plants - Vascular Morphogenesis Controller-guided growth of braided structures
Daniel Nicolas Hofstadler, Joshua Cherian Varughese, Stig Anton Nielsen +4
Natural plants are exemplars of adaptation through self-organisation and collective decision making. As such, they provide a rich source of inspiration for adaptive mechanisms in a…
Controlling Swarms: A Programming Paradigm with Minimalistic Communication
Joshua Cherian Varughese, Hannes Hornischer, Ronald Thenius +3
Inspired by natural swarms, numerous control schemes enabling robotic swarms, mobile sensor networks and other multi-agent systems to exhibit various self-organized behaviors have…
Flora robotica -- An Architectural System Combining Living Natural Plants and Distributed Robots
Heiko Hamann, Mohammad Divband Soorati, Mary Katherine Heinrich +13
Key to our project flora robotica is the idea of creating a bio-hybrid system of tightly coupled natural plants and distributed robots to grow architectural artifacts and spaces. O…
