Robust Morphogenesis of Robotic Swarms [Application Notes]

Morphogenesis of biological organisms is a programmed yet self-organizing emergent phenomenon that has a lot to offer to engineering designs of man-made robotic systems [1], [2]. Such growing, self-repairing and self-replicating artifacts have been a subject of investigation for long [3], [4], [5], [6], and a number of theoretical models and implementations have been produced in Artificial Life and Bio-Inspired Robotics research communities [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13].
