Abstract
Swarm robotic solutions have the potential to solve many of the dangers and issues current construction practices have today. By having many robots working on a single project, construction can be completed in a fast and efficient manner. The overall intent for this project is to design a versatile robotic swarm system capable of autonomously constructing complex structures by means of inchworm-like linkage robots and standardized interconnected “smart” blocks. This project introduces a new backbone linkage system in the blocks and improved stigmergic control that builds upon the groundwork established by past iterations of the project - enabling the construction of higher-complexity structures. Powering the system is a complete algorithm capable of detecting if any structure is stable during and after construction while building the blueprints to be propagated among the blocks.
