Programmable Matter 2 (ProgMat 2)
| Term | WS 2022/23 + SS 2023 |
| Program | Computer Science Master's Computer Engineering Master's |
| Regular Meeting Hours | TBD |
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
