Abstract
Self-organization of a mechanical structure based on remodeling of living systems was discussed. A mathematical model of adaptive formation was proposed. The model consists of identical mechanical elements which determine their actions by only local information. In this paper, a new biological function by use of L-systems was added to the model and the performance was examined. The computer simulation showed that the proposed model actively changed the topological structure for multiple loading conditions.
