Two finite automata robots build a bounding box around arbitrary polyominos. See full ICRA 2020 paper https://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/users/fek... for details. All code @ https://github.com/AlienHunterD/2DTil...
A finite automata is a state-machine with no memory, which is why this paper is interesting.
