- 1. CLAYTRONICS •PROGRAMMABLE MATTER
- 2. OVERVIEW Claytronics’ is the concept of the future which aims to break the barrier in transferring and transforming tangible 3D objects. The concept basically is to make an object to be composed of millions of programmed nano scale robots and to move them relative to each other in a controlled coordinated manner to change shape and other properties of the body. Claytronics consists of individual components called claytronics atoms or ‘Catoms’.
- 3. Programmable matter refers to matter which has the ability to change its physical properties (shape, density, optical properties, etc.) in a programmable fashion, based upon user input or autonomous sensing
- 4. Step -1:changing color Step-2:deforming Step-3:forming with changes Step-4:new model
- 5. GOAL….. Our goal is to give tangible, interactive forms to information so that a user's senses will experience digital environments as though they are indistinguishable from reality.
- 6. PARIO (media type ) •primary goal form basis for a new media type, PARIO • a logical extension of audio and video •reproduce moving 3D objects in the real world The long term goal of our work is to impart physical artifacts with such high accuracy that our senses will easily accept the reproduction for the original. When this goal is achieved we will be able to create an environment, which we call synthetic reality, in which a user can interact with computer generated artifacts as if they were the real thing.
- 8. Research team focuses on two main projects: Step-1 Step-2 Creating the basic modular building block of claytronics known as the Claytronic atom or catom, Designing and writing robust and reliable software programs that will manage the shaping of ensembles of millions of catoms into dynamic, 3-Dimensional Step-3 forms.
- 10. •The Smallest individual units of Claytronics is termed as Catom. Each unit has following sub-units •CPU • Network device for Communication •Power source •Sensor •Single pixel display •Programmable adhesive
- 11. Planar catom Electrostatic latches Millimeter scale catom Cubes
- 12. Planar catoms: Planar catoms test concept of motion, power distribution ,data transfer, communication.. Electrostatic latches: Models a new system of binding and releasing the connection between modular robots, a Connection that creates motion and transfer power and data…..
- 13. Millimeter scale catom: electrostatically actuated and self controlled..these are cylindrical in shape instead of spherical..it consist of a tube and a high voltage CMOS inside it..it has two layer planar structure which cause 2-D structure to bent into 3-D due to stress created between the layers.. it rolls on passive stator..
- 14. Cubes: Employ electrostatic latches to demonstrate the functionality of a device that could be used in a system of lattice-style self-assembly at both the macro and nano-scale.
- 16. Redesign themselves acc to arrows
- 17. Future applications of claytronics Medicine: A replica of your physician could appear in your living room and perform an exam. The virtual doctor would precisely mimic the shape, appearance and movements of your "real" doctor, who is performing the actual work from a remote office. .
- 18. In situation of disaster..these objects could be used to perform hazardous work and could morph into diff shapes to serve multiple purpose, a fire hose can become a shovel, a ladder can become a stretcher..etc..
- 19. Entertainment: A football game, ice skating competition or other sporting event could be replicated in miniature on your coffee table. A movie could be recreated in your living room, and you could insert yourself into the role of one of the actors..
- 20. Household You can just draw the design of what ever you want as shown in pictures
- 21. 3-D printers Some changes may occur in the basic life style itself with emergence of Claytronics. Even carry a tab with a large display in the pocket and when you need it just expand it or if in a meeting if some unexpected people come just convert a part of the table into a chair(may be the table will become few millimeters less thick).

- #5: This slide shows us 4 fig which r wrkng on pre-written programs..when people go to show der car models to some cmpny..dey take so many models to show varations but thanks to Claytronics that help us doing dis in 1..
- #6: Read the points….
- #7: ARTIFACT-an object made or shaped by human hand..
- #14: Electrostatically actuated and self controlled…cmosComplementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) USED IN MICROPROCESSORS..photolithography..
