  - 'Machines enabled the Industrial Revolution and are central to modern technological
    progress: A machine’s parts transmit forces, motion, and energy to one another
    in a predetermined manner. Today’s engineering frontier, building artificial micromachines
    that emulate the biological machinery of living organisms, requires faithful assembly
    and energy consumption at the microscale. Here, we demonstrate the programmable
    assembly of active particles into autonomous metamachines using optical templates.
    Metamachines, or machines made of machines, are stable, mobile and autonomous
    architectures, whose dynamics stems from the geometry. We use the interplay between
    anisotropic force generation of the active colloids with the control of their
    orientation by local geometry. This allows autonomous reprogramming of active
    particles of the metamachines to achieve multiple functions. It permits the modular
    assembly of metamachines by fusion, reconfiguration of metamachines and, we anticipate,
    a shift in focus of self-assembly towards active matter and reprogrammable materials.@eng'
