Self-Reconfiguration via Active Subtraction with Modular Robots
How can modular robots rearrange themselves into new shapes without centralized control?
Bachelor Thesis, Master Thesis
Can groups of simple modular robots reshape themselves by selectively detaching modules? In this thesis, you explore active subtraction for self-reconfiguration, from 2D grids into the full 3D space, uncovering how local rules can generate complex global structures.

Dezentralized Gathering on a Grid
How can simple robots find each other without communication, memory, or central control?
Bachelor Thesis, Master Thesis
Students interested in working on decentralized coordination and gathering algorithms for simple agents on grids, inspired by modular robotic systems such as 3D M-Blocks, are invited to explore how local rules can lead to global self-organization. The thesis involves studying the underlying algorithmic concepts and evaluating them through simulations of agent behavior in distributed grid environments.
