Abstract
We present a review of the state of the art of self-assembly on a macroscopic scale, covering ten years, from 2012 to 2022. The study begins by mentioning its discovery, definition, fundamental characteristics, and the two main types of self-assembly. Next, we propose the opportunity to implement the autonomous assembly process as a construction alternative on the macroscopic scale, especially in engineering. In a complementary way, we expose the advantages of self-assembly on a macroscopic scale and the challenges regarding its physical and virtual implementation. Finally, we cite relevant research to finish mentioning the opportunities for future work and conclusions about self-assembly.
