The condensation of aryl boronic acids with 2,3-dihydroxypyridine gives boronates, which self-assemble to form tetrameric macrocycles as evidenced by X-ray crystallographic analyses. ...
This paper discusses some issues for animating virtual characters. It emphasizes the duality between control and autonomy. Specific problems and examples are addressed like generic motion engine, environment-based motion control, autonomous behaviors, and ...
Over the past years, mobile agent technology has attracted considerable attention, and a significant body of literature has been published. To further develop mobile agent technology, reliability mechanisms such as fault tolerance and transaction support a ...

In this paper, we study aggregation in a swarm of simple robots, called s-bots, having the capability to self-organize and self-assemble to form a robotic system, called a swarm-bot. The aggregation process, observed in many biological systems, is of funda ...
We present a new robotic concept, called SWARM-BOT, based on a swarm of small and simple autonomous mobile robots called S-BOTs. S-BOTs have a particular assembling capability that allows them to connect physically to other S-BOTs and form a bigger robot e ...
There is considerable interest in synthetic ionophores with high affinity and selectivity for Li+. But so far, compounds that selectively bind Li+ in the presence of other alkali and alkaline earth metal ions are rare and current approaches toward this goa ...
This paper presents a new robotic concept, called SWARM-BOT, based on a swarm of autonomous mobile robots with self-assembling capabilities. SWARM-BOT takes advantage from collective and distributed approaches to ensure robustness to failures and to hard e ...
In this paper we introduce a new robotic system, called swarm-bot. The system consists of a swarm of mobile robots with the ability to connect to/disconnect from each other to self-assemble into different kinds of structures. First, we describe our vision ...
TThe synthesis and properties of a novel set of building blocks for the preparation of self-assembling biomaterials are described. These molecules consist of a relatively short oligo(L-lactic acid)n segment (n̄ = 10-40) that is substituted with a cholester ...
