Title:
- Morphological Computation on Two Dimensional Self-Assembly System
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
Self-assembly is a process in which components autonomously organized into structure without external direction. There are many researches of self-assembly system at molecular scale to macro scale. Such a self-assembly system may serve as the new production method with the characteristics, such as decomposability, self-repairing, self-replicating and adaptability. For developing such a new production method, an understanding of the interaction of shape and pattern, which can be called as morphological computation, is important.
