Addressable self-assembly is the formation of a target structure from a set of unique molecular or colloidal building-blocks, each of which occupies a defined location in the target. The requirement that each type of building-block appears…

We investigate algorithmic control of a large swarm of mobile particles (such as robots, sensors, or building material) that move in a 2D workspace using a global input signal (such as gravity or a magnetic field). We show that a maze of…

Science is a constructed narrative of the natural world based on information gathering and its subsequent analysis. In this essay, we develop a novel approach to the epistemic foundations of the scientific narrative, as based on our…

Path integrals for particles in curved spaces can be used to compute trace anomalies in quantum field theories, and more generally to study properties of quantum fields coupled to gravity in first quantization. While their construction in…

A general notion of information-related complexity applicable to both natural and man-made systems is proposed. The overall approach is to explicitly consider a rational agent performing a certain task with a quantifiable degree of success.…

We describe a novel geometric methodology for analyzing free-energy and kinetics of assembly driven by short-range pair-potentials in an implicit solvent, and provides illustrations of its unique capabilities. An atlas is a labeled…

Informative path planning is an important and challenging problem in robotics that remains to be solved in a manner that allows for wide-spread implementation and real-world practical adoption. Among various reasons for this, one is the…

Most of the existing research in assembly pathway prediction/analysis of virus cap- sids makes the simplifying assumption that the configuration of the intermediate states can be extracted directly from the final configuration of the entire…

In this paper, we address the problem of plausible object placement for the challenging task of realistic image composition. We propose DiffPop, the first framework that utilizes plausibility-guided denoising diffusion probabilistic model…

The visual world around us can be described as a structured set of objects and their associated relations. An image of a room may be conjured given only the description of the underlying objects and their associated relations. While there…

Determining the complexity of molecules has important applications from molecular design to understanding the history of the process that led to the formation of the molecule. Currently, it is not possible to experimentally determine,…

DNA self-assembly is an important tool that has a wide range of applications such as building nanostructures, the transport of target virotherapies, and nano-circuitry. Tools from graph theory can be used to encode the biological process of…

We introduce a method for efficiently computing the exact shortest path to the boundary of a mesh from a given internal point in the presence of self-intersections. We provide a formal definition of shortest boundary paths for…

Assembling objects from parts requires understanding multimodal instructions, linking them to 3D components, and predicting physically plausible 6-DoF motions for each assembly step. Existing datasets focus on simplified scenarios,…

Learning-based analysis of images is commonly used in the fields of mobility and robotics for safe environmental motion and interaction. This requires not only object recognition but also the assignment of certain properties to them. With…

Self-assembly is a phenomenon observed in nature at all scales where autonomous entities build complex structures, without external influences nor centralised master plan. Modelling such entities and programming correct interactions among…

Partial information decomposition (PID) seeks to decompose the multivariate mutual information that a set of source variables contains about a target variable into basic pieces, the so called "atoms of information". Each atom describes a…

Target-oriented discovery under limited evaluation budgets requires making reliable progress in high-dimensional, heterogeneous design spaces where each new measurement is costly, whether experimental or high-fidelity simulation. We present…

Reactions forming a pathway can be rewritten by making explicit the different molecular components involved in them. A molecular component represents a biological entity (e.g. a protein) in all its states (free, bound, degraded, etc.). In…

Biological organisms are composed of numerous interconnected biochemical processes. Diseases occur when normal functionality of these processes is disrupted. Thus, understanding these biochemical processes and their interrelationships is a…
