论文摘要
传播模式用于转移和处理非常规计算设备的化学和物理原型中的信息。逻辑值由行进扩散，触发或相波的前部表示。我们将这种基于模式的计算的概念应用于开发小型模块化机器人实现的计算电路的实验原型。在实验原型中，将模块化机器人串联成通道和连接。 Cubelet开发的结构并行和异步传播信号。用一位完整加法器的工作电路说明了该方法。这些结构的形式化互补，在Sheptsov网中开发出来。最后，讨论了群体动态的观点。
Propagating patterns are used to transfer and process information in chemical and physical prototypes of unconventional computing devices. Logical values are represented by fronts of traveling diffusive, trigger or phase waves. We apply this concept of pattern based computation to develop experimental prototypes of computing circuits implemented in small modular robots. In the experimental prototypes the modular robots Cubelets are concatenated into channels and junction. The structures developed by Cubelets propagate signals in parallel and asynchronously. The approach is illustrated with a working circuit of a one-bit full adder. Complementarily a formalization of these constructions are developed across Sleptsov nets. Finally, a perspective to swarm dynamics is discussed.
