The Assemblage Robotic Plant: A Design Approach

Abstract

This article presents an approach to the design of robotics that values the notion of assemblage. The term assemblage can represent an intermediate state between iterative and design experimentation. Developing robotic integrated systems, such as small network communication between metastable individuals, is costly. As a result, fully integrated automated systems are usually preferred over experimental open methods. That integra[1]ted automated process diminishes the potential of establishing assemblage in favours of more arborescent solutions. Here it will present an approach that concentrates on the stability of the microcontroller board and allows the development of the assemblage. At the same time, it opens the exploring potential of differential parts in physical computing.
