CLAYTRONICS!

CatomsCatoms = claytronic atoms

Catoms: less than a millimeter in size

Self Assembly of catoms Synthetic Reality

For high resolution applications millimeter scale catoms are required that are electro statically actuated and self contained

Role of Moore’s LawClaytronic technology has become possible because of Moore's Law

Moore's Law: A long-term trend in the history of computing hardware, in which number of transistors placed inexpensively on

an IC has doubled (approx) every two years

• CPU

• A display

• Sensors

• Battery

• Communication network

• Programmable adhesives

COMPONENTS OF CATOM: HARDWARES

•The required data is communicated to each catom.

• The catoms communicate with each other in an ensemble and compute state information.

• Catoms move in three dimensions relative to each other using on board power and adhere to each other to form a three dimensional shape.

Functioning of Catoms

3D MOTION OF CATOMS

• MELD, a declarative language.

• Locally distributed predicates (LDP), a reactive programming language.
