Claytronics | What is Claytronics | Definition and meaning of Claytronics | Nanoscale Robotics and Computer Science

Claytronics Claytronics  is an abstract future concept that combines  nanoscale  robotics and  computer science  to create individual nanometer-scale computers called claytronic atoms, or  catoms , which can interact with each other to form tangible 3D objects that a user can interact with. This idea is more broadly referred to as  programmable matter .  Claytronics has the potential to greatly affect many areas of daily life, such as telecommunication, human-computer interfaces, and entertainment. Current research Current research is exploring the potential of  modular reconfigurable robotics  and the complex software necessary to control the “shape changing” robots. “Locally Distributed Predicates or LDP is a distributed, high-level language for programming modular reconfigurable robot systems (MRRs)”. There are many challenges associated with programming and controlling a large number of discrete modular systems due to the...

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) | Robotic Mapping | Car Location GPS

In  navigation ,  robotic mapping  and  odometry  for  virtual reality  or  augmented reality ,  SLAM,  stands for Simultaneous Localization & Mapping. It means to generates the map of a vehicle’s surroundings and locates the vehicle in that map at the same time. The SLAM system uses the depth sensor to gather a series of views (something like 3D snapshots of its environment), with approximate position and distance. Than, it stores these  3d views in memory. SLAM is a pure work of Deep Learning and Machine Learning. It could further be enhanced with the help fo Artificial Intelligence.  It is the computational problem of constructing or updating a map of an unknown environment while simultaneously keeping track of an agent's location within it. [1] [2] [3] [4]  While this initially appears to be a  chicken-and-egg problem  there are several algorithms known for solving it, at least approximately, in tract...
