CLAYTRONICS!

4. Catoms Catoms = claytronic atoms
Self Assembly of catoms
Synthetic Reality
Catoms: less than a millimeter in size
For high resolution applications millimeter scale catoms are required that are electro statically actuated and self contained

5. Claytronic technology has become possible because of Moore's Law
Role of Moore’s Law
Claytronic 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

6. COMPONENTS OF CATOM: HARDWARES
CPU
A display
Sensors
Battery
Communication network
Programmable adhesives

7. Functioning of Catoms 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.

9. SOFTWARES MELD, a declarative language.
Locally distributed predicates (LDP), a reactive programming language.
