1. Abstract

This page lists the supplmentary material that was prepared for our technical report on an open-source multi-robot construction system [1]. The system consists of robots that are capable of assembling cubic blocks into structures, which can be up to three blocks in height. The system is designed for running experiments in multi-robot construction in laboratory settings.

Keywords:Robotics, Construction, Open-Source Hardware, Multi-Robot System

2. Project Repository

For this technical report, the supplementary material has been organized as a project on the Open Science Framework. This project contains the design files, bills of materials, and assembly videos for both the stigmergic block and the BuilderBot robot.
