We propose a new algorithm to build self-organizing and self-repairing marine structures on the ocean floor, where humans and\nremotely operated robots cannot operate. The proposed algorithm is based on the one-dimensional cellular automata model and\nuses simple transition rules to produce various complex patterns. This cellular automata model can produce various complex\npatterns like sea shells with simple transition rules. The model can simulate the marine structure construction process with\ndistributed cooperation control instead of central control. Like living organism is constructed with module called cell, we assume\nthat the self-organized structure consists of unified modules (structural units). The units pile up at the bottom of the sea and\na structure with the appropriate shape eventually emerges. Using the attribute of emerging patterns in the one-dimensional\ncellular automata model, we construct specific structures based on the local interaction of transition rules without using complex\nalgorithms. Furthermore, themodel requires smaller communication data among the units because it only relies on communication\nbetween adjacent structural units. With the proposed algorithm, in the future, it will be possible to use self-assembling structural\nmodules without complex built-in computers.
