IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT. "Instead of having to buy a premanufactured object we would just download the design and with the help claytronics it would form into different things. Claytronical objects will be able to form complex structures and perform elaborate tasks that may seem impossible with today’s technologies." http://jiaps.org/claytronics-from-atoms-to-catoms/ View in LinkedIn

PROGRAMMABLE MATTER. “Any form of programmable matter which can pass the ‘Turing test’ for appearance [looking indistinguishable from the real thing] will enable an entire new way of thinking about the world ... Applications like injectable surgical instruments, morphable cellphones, 3D interactive life-size TV and so on are just the tip of the iceberg.” https://lnkd.in/dDwjZMg View in LinkedIn

CLAYTRONIC ATOMS. "Claytronics consists of a collection of individual components called claytronic atoms, or catoms. In order to be viable, catoms need to fit a set of criteria. First, catoms need to be able to move in three dimensions relative to each other and be able to adhere to each other to form a three-dimensional shape." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claytronics View in LinkedIn

CATOMS. "The challenge of claytronics is to develop tiny robots called claytronic atoms-catoms and to find how to make the catoms communicate with each other to form interchangeable objects. In analogy with atoms from which matter consists, catoms represent the smallest indivisible units of programmable matter." http://jiaps.org/claytronics-from-atoms-to-catoms/ View in LinkedIn
