Lego Structural Visualizations

Awesome representation of legos building structures in real-time. Great visualization of how small scale nano robot structures could be built in ral-time. 1500 hours of moving legobricks and individual photos splced together.

NanoRobots Making Pseudo Human Skin/Flesh

Interesting NanoRobots that make Human Skin and Flesh. Live demonstrations evidencing synthetic skin and pseudo human flesh produced by bionanotechnology: http://www.mogulus.com/Morgellons_Bro… and www.quantumpowerbroadcast.com

Nanobots Interacting with Bacteria

Amazing nanorobots interacting with bacteria. Read more about this project on the website. Other information and great projects can be found on the website for the Laboratoire de Nanorobotique.

Nokia Morph by Nokia Research Center

Nokia Morph is a joint nanotechnology concept, developed by Nokia Research Center (NRC) and the University of Cambridge (UK). The Morph demonstrates how future mobile devices might be stretchable and flexible, allowing the user to transform their mobile devices into radically different shapes. It demonstrates the ultimate functionality that nanotechnology might be capable of delivering: flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces.

Nanorobot Structures

Video of four stress-engineered microrobots assembling a planar structure, recorded through an optical microscope. The dimensions of each robot are 260 x 60 x 10 micrometers, and the dimensions of the final assembled shape are (approximately) 260 x 240 x 10 micrometers. The assembly is performed entirely within a 2 mm squared area. Compliance, as well a motion planning control strategy are used to ensure high docking accuracy. All robots are controlled using a single global control signal, provided through the operating environment.

World’s Smallest Mobile Robot

http://www.vimeo.com/9959

Dartmouth researchers have contributed to the miniaturizing trend by creating the world’s smallest untethered, controllable robot. Their extremely tiny machine is about as wide as a strand of human hair, and half the length of the period at the end of this sentence. About 200 of these could march in a line across the top of a plain M&M. See article here

Miles Kemp Featured on City of Sound

Miles was featured on City of Sound. Thanks Dan Hill! Quote from the feature: “Robert Miles Kemp’s talk was always interesting and occasionally spellbinding, most of all when showing the work in responsive robotic structures. His videos of simple blocks self-assembling into what he called “nano-architecture” are quite extraordinary… Kemp situated this within a wider context of interactive and informational architecture, centred around his work at Variate Labs and renowned new media deisgn firm Schematic (and his blog, Spatial Robots) described in a consistently interesting talk, covering many of the primary themes in contemporary interface design – and indeed extending the idea of where and what interfaces are.”

Kohler Karbon Faucet Ad by Logan

Fantastic video of water building structures to exemplify features of the new reconfigurable faucet by Kohler. Just imagine if robots could build structures like this.
