summary

A multi-robot system assembles low-resolution haptic proxies from magnetized cubic blocks tracked optically and used as tangible VR controllers; two methods are tested: Zooids carrying active blocks that self-position and snap together, and dedicated movers that place passive blocks of varying heights. Active assemblies take about 3 seconds per block with high success; passive placements take 5–9 seconds with lower reliability. Built objects support pointing, drawing, and a pushable thumb switch; disassembly and spatial resolution remain limited.
