Claytronics V2

Welcome to model making of the future courtesy of the Synthetic Reality Project at Carnegie Mellon.

Claytronics consists of a programmable matter made up of billions of microscopic robots each with computational abilities and sensors that allow for interaction, resulting in a mouldable and programmable tactile medium that can be formed and altered dynamically in your hands.

In the video below, you can see the astonishing Claytronics concept in action and, don’t let the above sentence put you off – it really is astonishing stuff.
