Emergence of self-organized amoeboid movement in a multi-agent approximation of Physarum polycephalum (2012)
Journal Article

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

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.
