  abstract	= {Abstract- This paper presents an experimental system for
		  assembly in space. A weightless and frictionless
		  environment is approximated using an air-hockey table where
		  robots and structural components can noat on the surface.
		  The robots use fan propulsion lo dock with components and
		  assemble them together to make 2D struelures This system is
		  designed to implement three key technologies for space
		  self-assembly: 1) intelligent components with universal
		  mnnectors, 2) a set of sell-reconfigurable robots that
		  fetch and assemble components, and 3) a distributed method
		  for controlling the robotic-assembly pmeess. An overview of
		  the system's design and experimental results is
		  presented.},
