AISmart Cellular Bricks reportedly recognize their collective shape without a central controller
Sakana AI says each cube runs the same small neural network and communicates only with direct neighbors, allowing the group to identify its shape, locate damage and guide repairs.
TLDR
Sakana AI says its Smart Cellular Bricks can identify the object they form without any cube knowing its position or being in charge. Local exchanges between neighboring cubes let the group recognize its shape, find missing pieces and guide repairs, according to the company. Sakana AI reports moving from simulation to 197 physical bricks with “100% accuracy.” It says the research, led by its researcher Sebastian Risi with collaborators at IT University of Copenhagen and Autodesk, is featured in Scientific American.
