Journal Article
Jones, J., & Adamatzky, A. (2012). Emergence of self-organized amoeboid movement in a multi-agent approximation of Physarum polycephalum. Bioinspiration and Biomimetics, 7(1), 016009. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-3182/7/1/016009

The giant single-celled slime mould Physarum polycephalum exhibits complex morphological adaptation and amoeboid movement as it forages for food and may be seen as a minimal example of complex robotic behaviour. Swarm computation has previously been... Read More about Emergence of self-organized amoeboid movement in a multi-agent approximation of Physarum polycephalum.

Towards physarum engines (2012)
Journal Article
Tsuda, S., Jones, J., & Adamatzky, A. (2012). Towards physarum engines. Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 9(3), 221-240. https://doi.org/10.3233/ABB-2012-0059

The slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a suitable candidate organism for soft-matter robotics because it exhibits controllable transport, movement and guidance behaviour. Physarum may be considered as a smart computing and actuating material since... Read More about Towards physarum engines.
