Abstract:
The purpose is to design such a digitized material; a basic building block which can perform computation ,sensing ,actuation ,orientation ,communication and displaying graphics at ultra low power as continuous abilities over its whole content. Programmable matter have many exciting application, like prototyping, shape shifting robots even houses and buildings; if developed could change their shape without having to demolish the whole material. Composition of programmable matter is to include centimeter scale autonomous micro system particles, without internal moving parts bounded by magnetic field. This project is divided into two categories, the control system and the response system. The control system is a master computer that would tell the response system which task to perform depending upon the current state of the block. The project touches various important fields of engineering, providing a comprehensive design for the project’s realization.
