Résumé : We investigate the use of self-assembly in a robotic system as a means of responding

to different environmental contingencies. Self-assembly is the mechanism through which

agents in a multi-robot system autonomously form connections with one another to create

larger composite robotic entities. Initially, we consider a simple response mechanism

that uses stochastic self-assembly without any explicit control over the resulting morphology
