The sentient machines are descended from an uncrewed factory ship that was to be self replicating, but suffered radiation damage and went off course, eventually landing on Titan around 1,000,000 BC. Manifold: Space, Stephen Baxter's novel, starts with the discovery of alien self-replicating machines active within the Solar system.
Freeman Dyson in 2005. Astrochicken is the name given to a thought experiment expounded by theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson.An Astrochicken is a small, one-kilogram spacecraft, a self-replicating automaton that could explore space more efficiently than a crewed craft could due to its innovative mix of technology.

The first quantitative engineering analysis of a self-replicating spacecraft was published in 1980 by Robert Freitas, [56] in which the non-replicating Project Daedalus design was modified to include all subsystems necessary for self-replication. The design's strategy was to use the probe to deliver a "seed" factory with a mass of about 443 ...
Terraria has support for mods, which is facilitated by the third-party tModLoader. [12] [13] [14] It later received official support when it was released as free downloadable content alongside the "Journey's End" update on Steam in 2020. [15] Mods for Terraria vary widely in their scope, content, and purpose. Some, such as Thorium and Calamity ...
The term tagalong can refer to either of these patterns or a pattern that can be placed at the side of a spaceship to form a larger spaceship. A pattern that, when a spaceship is input, outputs a copy of the spaceship travelling in a different direction is called a reflector. If the output is instead a different spaceship, the pattern is known ...

At the same time, John von Neumann, Ulam's colleague at Los Alamos, was working on the problem of self-replicating systems. [9] Von Neumann's initial design was founded upon the notion of one robot building another robot. This design is known as the kinematic model.
