We changed our previous model of dynamic morphology discovery and repair to account for noise on cell-cell communication. We verified that the original model was not reliable against noise, we then proposed a simple mechanism by which cells needed confirmation from several packets in order to divide and position a cell in a missing location. The results showed that this activation mechanism led the model to fully regenerate a simulated worm even when there was noise on the direction of the messages.
