Don’t Rock the Boat: Algorithms for Balanced Dynamic Loading and Unloading
We consider dynamic loading and unloading problems for heavy geometric objects. The challenge is to maintain balanced configurations at all times: minimize the maximal motion of the overall center of gravity. ...

Path Refinement in Weighted Regions
In this paper, we study the weighted region problem (WRP) which is to compute a shortest path in a weighted partitioning of a plane. Recent results show that WRP is not solvable in any algebraic computation mo...

Connected Reconfiguration of Lattice-Based Cellular Structures by Finite-Memory Robots
We provide algorithmic methods for reconfiguration of lattice-based cellular structures by finite-state robots, motivated by large-scale constructions in space. We present algorithms that are able to detect an...

Tilt Assembly: Algorithms for Micro-factories That Build Objects with Uniform External Forces
We present algorithmic results for the parallel assembly of many micro-scale objects in two and three dimensions from tiny particles, which has been proposed in the context of programmable matter and self-asse...

Open AccessCADbots: Algorithmic Aspects of Manipulating Programmable Matter with Finite Automata
We contribute results for a set of fundamental problems in the context of programmable matter by presenting algorithmic methods for evaluating and manipulating a collective of particles by a finite automaton t...

Open AccessParticle-Based Assembly Using Precise Global Control
In micro- and nano-scale systems, particles can be moved by using an external force like gravity or a magnetic field. In the presence of adhesive particles that can attach to each other, the challenge is to de...

Open AccessConnected coordinated motion planning with bounded stretch
We consider the problem of connected coordinated motion planning for a large collective of simple, identical robots: From a given start grid configuration of robots, we need to reach a desired target configura...
