Modeling Self-Assembly Across Scales: The Unifying Perspective of Smart Minimal Particles

A wealth of current research in microengineering aims at fabricating devices of increasing complexity, notably by (self-)assembling elementary components into heterogeneous functional systems. At the same time, a large body of robotic research called swarm robotics is concerned with the design and t...
