I might know someone who worked on a project similar to the one mentioned in this article about a system that replicates strings of simple electronic devices from random parts floating on a cushion of air.
self-replicating machine similar to NRC and UW work?

Yeah, those look pretty neat. They sounds quite similar to what we did, except in reality instead of simulated. And without the folding, but that probably wouldn’t be hard for them to do.
