Self-organized modular approaches proved in nature to be robust and optimal and are therefore
also a promising strategy in engineering. The potential of self-organization and pattern formation
principles in engineering will be demonstrated for future concepts of flexible and modular
manufacturing processes. In particular, a model of flexible manufacturing is considered which is
based on time-dependent robot-target assignment problems where robot teams have to serve
manufacturing targets in an optimal way. Feasibility of the self-organized solutions can be
guaranteed even for unpredictable situations like sudden changes in the demands or breakdowns
of robots. As example an uncrewed space mission is visualized in a simulation where robots build a
space station. The suggested approach is not only promising for various types of complex
manufacturing but shows in addition a way how to utilize self-organization and pattern formation
principles, in particular selection processes for engineering problems. This includes especially
situations with required flexible, modular and decentralized structures where the total process has
to continue even if the risk of partial failures is high like in uncrewed space missions or in industrial
manufacturing like production with high variety, small batch size and short delivery periods. The
presented results provide a basis for a wide range of applications and further detailed investigations
of simulations or real experiments as well as analytical studies.
