An example autonomous vehicle includes a body configured for movement along a surface and an end-effector to hold a first element having first and second features that mate to complementary third and fourth features on a second element. At least one of the end-effector or the body is controllable to move in at least four degrees of freedom. The autonomous device includes one or more sensors to detect the second element and to obtain information for locating the third and fourth features of the second element or other compatible device. The autonomous device also includes a control system to control at least one of the end-effector or the body to move in the at least four degrees of freedom to stack the first element on top of the second element.
