SWARM BOTS CREATE PHONE PARTNER. "Claytronics, a form of programmable matter made out of very large numbers-potentially millions-of submillimeter sized spherical robots. The goal of the claytronics project is to create ensembles of cooperating submillimeter robots, which work together to form dynamic 3D physical objects. For example, claytronics might be used in telepresense to mimic, with high-fidelity and in 3-dimensional solid form, the look, feel, and motion of the person at the other end of the telephone call.""

PARIO WILL CHANGE COMMUNICATION. "Claytronics will offer a more realistic sense to communication over long distance called pario. Similar to how audio and video provide aural and visual stimulation, pario provides an aural, visual and physical sensation. A user will be able to hear, see and touch the one communicating with them in a realistic manner. Pario could be used effectively in many professional disciplines from engineering design, education and healthcare to entertainment and leisure activities such as video games.""

SYNTHETIC RENDERING FOR TELEMED. "The system could have a role in telemedicine, allowing a patient and doctor to be on different continents, but each able to the physical presence of the other with claytronic emulations." Wrap your noggin around that one." " http://lnkd.in/d4ms4ga View in LinkedIn

SYNTHETIC RENDERING IN TELECOM: see hear and touch..."Called "claytronics" at Carnegie-Mellon University, and "dynamic physical rendering" at Intel (which is supporting the CMU work), the synthetic reality project has already made some tentative advances, and the researchers are confident of eventual success. Just how long "eventual" may be is subject to debate."" " http://lnkd.in/d4ms4ga View in LinkedIn

"CLAYTONICS is an emerging field of engineering concerning reconfigurable nanoscale robots ('claytronic atoms', or catoms) designed to form much larger scale machines or mechanisms. The catoms will be sub-millimeter computers that will eventually have the ability to move around, communicate with other computers, change color, and electrostatically connect to other catoms to form different shapes.""

"CLAYTONICS is an abstract future concept that combines nanoscale robotics and computer science to create individual nanometer-scale computers called claytronic atoms, or catoms, which can interact with each other to form tangible 3-D objects that a user can interact with. This idea is more broadly referred to as programmable matter."" " http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claytronics View in LinkedIn

PHYSICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL WORLD MERGES."In the future you won’t use computers to design a car, the car will form from billions of tiny computers that arrange themselves into anything you want. The physical and computational world will merge. Hope you’re ready."" " http://lnkd.in/dHbJvdK View in LinkedIn

PRINTING NEW EYE CELLS. "Our study has shown, for the first time, that cells derived from the mature central nervous system, the eye, can be printed using a piezoelectric inkjet printer. Although our results are preliminary and much more work is still required, the aim is to develop this technology for use in retinal repair in the future."" " http://lnkd.in/deD4xBj View in LinkedIn

SHAPESHIFTING PROGRAMMABLE MATTER that can change color, shape and conductivity; tiny computer particles called CATOMS can use swarm behavior on demand to create a 3D image or structure. Intel Corp is already working on it. See the video. This stuff truly rocks. " " http://lnkd.in/dnMNfme View in LinkedIn

THESE EXEMPLARS ARE TEASERS demanding that you read the full article, because the concepts are difficult and the resulting toys are more than a little strange in every way. And unfortunately, it only gets worse with tomorrow's blogs. Hang onto your dentures. Prepare for the unknown. View in LinkedIn
