According to researchers at CMU, claytronics (also known as “Programmable matter” or “smart clay”) is described as, “An ensemble of material that contains sufficient local computation, actuation, storage, energy, sensing and communication which can be programmed to form interesting dynamic shapes and configurations To give forms of Information that are: a)Tangible b)Interactive In Digital environments which are Indistinguishable from reality

2. Designing reliable programs to instruct the shaping of collection of millions of catoms into dynamic, 3-d forms. 1. Creating Claytronic atoms (Catoms) Original Replica Ensemble of Catoms Single Unit

In our preliminary designs, each catoms is a self contained unit with A CPU. A CPU. An energy store such as onboard battery. An energy store such as onboard battery. A network device. A network device. A video output device such as LCD or LED. A video output device such as LCD or LED. Sensors like pressure sensors and photo sensors. Sensors like pressure sensors and photo sensors. A means of locomotion and A means of locomotion and A mechanism for adhering to other catoms. A mechanism for adhering to other catoms.

Current CATOMS

Cooperative Working Of Catoms

 Future catoms will be required to move in 3D dimentions relative to each other.  We should develop a millimeter scale catoms with no moving parts.  An alternative energy solution is desired for powering individual catoms.

Yes, Claytronics has the potential to become reality because of the ever-increasing speed of computer processing as per the predictions done by Gordon Moore Moore's Law: It states that, number of transistors placed inexpensively on an IC has doubled (approx) in every two years.

Claytronics device will require software languages that Instructs hundreds of thousands of catoms to work with co-operation. Programming languages :  Meld.  Locally Distributed Predicates LDP. Performance errors of thousands to millions of individual catoms are hard to detect & debug, therefore they are using algorithms like Distributive Watchpoints.

From the past 7 years we have seen phenomenon development in Claytronics. From being just a science fiction we are really moving towards its reality. Still the hungry towards reaching its end result is not yet satisfied amongst researchers. From being just a science fiction we are really moving towards its reality. Still the hungry towards reaching its end result is not yet satisfied amongst researchers. Thus this technology will removes the gap between a fresh idea and its finished product.
