AmoebotSim 2.0: A Visual Simulation Environment for the Amoebot Model with Reconfigurable Circuits and Joint Movements (Media Exposition)

Authors: Matthias Artmann, Tobias Maurer, Andreas Padalkin, Daniel Warner, and Christian Scheideler

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 332, 41st International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2025)

Abstract

We present AmoebotSim 2.0, a simulation environment for the geometric amoebot model of programmable matter that supports the reconfigurable circuit and joint movement extensions of the model. In the geometric amoebot model, we consider systems of simple computational entities called amoebots in a regular triangular grid environment. We are interested in distributed algorithms that solve coordination and shape formation problems. The reconfigurable circuit and joint movement extensions of the model allow the amoebots to communicate over greater distances and perform more complex movements, overcoming some limitations of the original model. AmoebotSim 2.0 is an open-source simulation environment that supports these extensions and provides a rich graphical interface, flexible simulation features, an extensive API, and comprehensive documentation.
