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…

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…
