We'd like to explore self-assembly in neural celluar automata and visualize their behavior in a control task.

Inspirations:

• Neural Cellular Automata
• Reservoir Computing
• Artificial Life
• Multiple Neighborhoods CAs
• ???
• (maybe Grid Cells)

Robot:

• Direct drive wheels with force/position/current/... feedback
• DVS
• Thermal cam
• Ordinary stereo cam
• ToF distance camera
• 32 x 64 pixel LED matrix
