Claytronics is an abstract future concept that combines nano scale
robotics & computer science to create individual nanometer -scale
computers called claytronics .
In this technology we can
transform the given objectin any 3-D shape .

Catoms: less than a millimeter in size
These catoms can occupy any space which we want and can change
there colour and can communicate with each other
These catoms will act as a mini computer and can be
programmed individually

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

Current stage of design: Claytronics hardware
operates from macro scale designs with devices much
larger than the tiny modular robots

Meld is a declarative language, a logic programming language originally
designed for programming overlay networks.By using logic programming, the
code for an ensemble of robots can be written from a global perspective,
enabling the programmer to concentrate on the overall performance of the
claytronics matrix rather than writing individual instructions for every one of
the thousands to millions of catoms in the ensemble

LDP is a reactive programming language. It has
been used to trigger debugging in the earlier
research. With the addition of language thatenables the programmer to build operations in
the development of the shape of the matrix, it
can be used to analyze the distributed local
conditions.[14]It can operate on fixed-size,
connected groups of modules providing various
functions of state configuration

new mode of communication.
Furniture can be changed as per need.
Wall paintings can be changed according to your mood.
Your cellphone can change to laptop and when your
work is done back into laptop.
One main cause is to improve human to human
communication.
