In this model, a single agent with strictly limited viewing range and the computational capability of a deterministic finite automaton can act on passive tiles by picking up a tile, moving, and placing it at some spot. The goal of the coating problem is to fill each node of some surface graph of size n with a tile. We first solve the problem on a restricted class of graphs with a single tile type, and then use constantly many tile types to encode this graph in certain surface graphs capturing the surface of 3D objects. Our algorithm requires O(n^2) steps, which is worst-case optimal compared to an agent with global knowledge and no memory restrictions."}],"_id":"54802","publication_status":"published","keyword":["Programmable Matter","Coating","Finite Automaton","3D"],"user_id":"55557","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"type":"book_chapter","year":"2024","title":"Universal Coating by 3D Hybrid Programmable Matter","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-60603-8_21","place":"Cham","editor":[{"first_name":"Yuval","last_name":"Emek","full_name":"Emek, Yuval"}],"publication":"Structural Information and Communication Complexity","citation":{"chicago":"Kostitsyna, Irina, David Liedtke, and Christian Scheideler. “Universal Coating by 3D Hybrid Programmable Matter.” In <i>Structural Information and Communication Complexity</i>, edited by Yuval Emek.
