Comment on Programmable Matter – 3D Catoms

Comments

I enjoyed watching this presentation by one of the creators: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXhELbJhgoU

However, don't see any evidence that they have physical prototypes of multi-catom swarms. Seems like they're more interested in the controls side of it, which is itself a very difficult problem.

I imagine physical constraints (such as the amount of power needed to engage the device's electromagnets) would render real constructions impossible. I'd loved to be proved wrong, though.

Needs an arcweld sinter together mode
