… More recently, new efforts in stochastic self-assembly have been pursued by Hod Lipson
and Eric Klavins. Thousands of modules have been simulated, with some (less than ten) hard…

In this paper, different research trends that use symbolic techniques for robot motion planning
and control are illustrated. As it often happens in new research areas, contributions to this …

Natural genetic circuits enable cells to make sophisticated digital decisions. Building equally
complex synthetic circuits in eukaryotes remains difficult, however, because commonly …

Self-assembly is the phenomenon in which a collection of particles spontaneously arrange
themselves into a coherent structure. Self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature. In this article we …

Linear I/O systems are a fundamental tool in systems theory, and have been used to design
complex circuits and control systems in a variety of settings. Here we present a principled …

Engineered genetic systems are prone to failure when their genetic parts contain repetitive
sequences. Designing many nonrepetitive genetic parts with desired functionalities remains …

The FastDesign protocol in the molecular modeling program Rosetta iterates between
sequence optimization and structure refinement to stabilize de novo designed protein structures …

Engineered biological circuits are often disturbed by a variety of environmental factors. In
batch culture, where the majority of synthetic circuit characterization occurs, environmental …

Explaining how the small molecule auxin triggers diverse yet specific responses is a long-standing
challenge in plant biology. An essential step in auxin response is the degradation of …

In this paper, we define a class of graph grammars that can be used to model and direct
concurrent robotic self-assembly and similar self-organizing processes. We give several …
