Autonomously self-replicating machines have long caught the imagination but have yet to acquire the sophistication of biological systems, which assemble structures from disordered building blocks. Here we describe the autonomous self-replication of a reconfigurable string of parts from randomly positioned input components. Such components, if suitably miniaturized and mass-produced, could constitute self-fabricating systems whose assembly is brought about by the parts themselves.
长期以来，自主自我复制机器一直激发着人们的想象力，但尚未具备生物系统那样的复杂性，生物系统能从无序的构建模块组装出结构。在此，我们描述了一种可重构部件串的自主自我复制过程，这些部件由随机定位的输入组件构成。如果适当地小型化并大规模生产，这样的组件可以构成自我制造系统，其组装过程由部件自身完成。
