Programmable matter is a material that can change its physical properties at will, whether it is its shape, density or conductivity. It can be implemented as an ensemble of micro-robots arranged in space to form a specific shape and having their own computing power. This technology behaves as a distributed system. Each micro-robot is called a module and the whole forms a modular robot. This paper ...
