This paper presents Tessellated Biomes, a cyber-physical framework for the adaptive robotic construction and reconfiguration of modular multi-material assemblies. It challenges the linear lifecycle of standard construction by fusing (1) local microfactory fabrication, (2) discrete multi-material optimization, and (3) distributed robotic assembly into a unified circular process of spatial adaptation. The research details methods for the digital fabrication of self-aligning modular primitives in multiple materials (PLA, timber, and concrete) produced in local microfactories; the aggregation and optimization of these primitives into compression-based discrete structures; and the deployment of custom quadrupedal robots that collaboratively relocate material into realized physical aggregations. The framework is validated through the fabrication, optimization, and robotic assembly of discrete structures. Together, these results position Tessellated Biomes as a model for resilient, reconfigurable architecture.
