Scripting Nanoarchitecture: [P]rocess [M]ODs
12 May 2008, 19:12

Categories: molecular-machines--devices designers

A user receives a box of bots (nanobots configured to resemble a solid cube that will fit into the palm of a hand). The nanobots react through wireless signal via nano-processors hidden within their carbon bodies. User data and climate/local/global data are used to find the form. Data is then input into an evolutionary algorithm until the optimal solution is achieved. The structure links up wirelessly to a global/local p2p network to optimize itself based on given criteria. Loop for continuous optimization.
