Goals and Contents

This project groups aims at designing and implementing algorithms for a specific model of programmable matter called Amoebots. The project group consists of two parts, covering the theoretical aspects (first phase) and the practical aspects (second phase).

  • Goal
    • Design, analyze, and simulate algorithms
  • First phase: Seminar
    • Read papers about the amoebot model and the circuit extension
  • Second phase: Implementation/Design/Analysis
    • Implement and test existing algorithms
    • Design new algorithms
  • Prerequirements
    • Ability to understand scientific papers
    • Basic programming skills
    • Ideally, also analytical skills
    • High motivation (programmable matter is a cool topic!)

Resources

  • Slides of the Project Group presentation on July 18th, 2022
  • Visualization/Simulations of the (classical) amoebot model
  • Book chapter on the first four years of research on the amoebot model
  • Youtube-Presentation on the Reconfigurable Circuit Extension of the amoebot model by Andreas Padalkin

Remark: On the slides of the project group presentation available for download here, some images are blacked out due to unclear copyrights; we will be happy to send an uncensored version via email upon request; if you are interested, simply send an email to Andreas Padalkin or Daniel Warner.
