title = "ReactiveBuild: Environment-Adaptive Self-Assembly of Amorphous Structures",
abstract = "ReactiveBuild is an algorithm that enables robot swarms to build a variety of robust, amorphous, and environment-adaptive structures without pre-planning. Robots form structures by climbing their peers until either reaching a point closest to a goal location or until a neighboring robot recruits it for structural reinforcement. This contrasts with typical approaches to robotic self-assembly which generally seek to form some a priori, latticed shape. This paper demonstrates a simulated swarm of FireAnt3D robots using ReactiveBuild to form towers, chains, cantilevers, and bridges in three-dimensional environments.",
