Abstract
This paper introduces HydroGen, an object compiler system that produces self-assembly instructions for configurations of Hydron units. The Hydron is distinct from other self-reconfigurable robotic units in that it operates under water, and can thus move without being constrained by gravity of connectivity requirements. It is therefore well suited to self-assembly as opposed to self-reconfiguration, and faces similar control problems to those expected in nanotechnology applications.
