welcome!
In the last few decades, robot research and development has peeled in
a number of different directions The goal, however, is the same :
"Robots are autonomous artificial life forms that can perform useful
work". BUT, the paths to getting to this point are diverse.

Let’s begin!
Robots
A Robot is a type of machine that can execute specific tasks with speed and precision.

There are several robots which are designed to do particular tasks. They are programmed in a manner in
which they can do a specific task for what they are built. So they cannot perform any other tasks.

A new technology to overcome this drawback is known as the “FRACTAL ROBOTS”.


What are
fractals?
Our vision

A fractal is anything which has a substantial measure of


exact or statistical self-similarity.
Wherever you look at any part of its body it will be similar
to the whole object.
In geometry, Fractal is a shape made up of parts that are
same shape and itself and are of smaller and smaller
sizes.
fractal robots
Fractal robots are objects made from cubic bricks that can be controlled by a computer to change
shape and reconfigure themselves into objects of different shapes.
The Fractal robots are a set of uniform electronic cubes which are functioned by an OS.
Cubes are embedded with chips that control their movement
The smallest expected size is between 1000 and 10,000 atoms wide.
It can handle multiple tasks simultaneously.
COnstruction The robot design includes the smallest amount of
moving parts so that they can be mass generated.

DEtails Material requirments have been made flexible so


that they can be built from metals and plastics
which are cheaply available in industrial natrions.

Cubes are assembled from face platesbolted


to a cube frame.
Each face plates have electrical contact pads
that allow data signals to be routed from one
cube to another.
Cubes have inductive coupling to transmit
power and data signals.
Each face plates have electrical contact pads.
contact pads
Electrical contact pads allow power and
data signals to be routed from one
robotic cube to another.
45 degree push pull petals on the
surface allows one cube to lock with its
neighbour.
These petals are also used to move the
neighbour cube according to the
program.
Movement
mechanisms
1 Petals are pushed in and out with the
aid of a motor.

2
Petals have serrated edges and they
engage into the neighbouring robotic
cube through 45 degree slot.

3 Serrated edges of petals are engaged


by a gear wheel for locking mechanism.

implementation of computer control
Cubes have a microcontroller to perform basic operations.
The largest component of the fractal robot system is the software.

Fractal o.s
Converts fractally written codes into machine commands or movements.
Internal design of fractal OS includes ROM,RAM and counters.

Fractal bus
The fractal bus permits Hardware and Software to merge seamlessly into one unified
data structure.
It helps in sending and receiving fractally controlled data.
movement algorithms
These are also called as digital matter control.
there are only three basic movement algorithms ,they are :

pick and place


Commands are issued to a collection of cubes telling each cube where to go.
A command of “Cube 517 move left by 2 positions” results only one cube moving in the
entire machine.

n-streamers
A cube is pushed out from the surface, and then another cube is moved to the vacant
position
The new cube is joined in the tail of the growing rod and pushed out again to grow the rod.
l-streamers
L shape of cubes numbered 4,5,6 are
attached to a rod numbered 1,2,3.
A new cube 7 is added so that the rod
grows by one cube.
Cubes 7&6 are moved till 5,6&7 forms an L
shape.
By grouping cubes and moving them, any
structure can be programmed easily within
minutes.
self repair
1 If a part is damaged robot rebuilds
itself by shuffling the cubes around.

2 If a walking has lost its leg then the


robot could reconfigure its structure
and resynthesize the lost features.

3 Three types of self repair:

Cube Replacement.
Usage of plates to construct cubes.
Using smaller fractal machines to
self repair inside large cubes.

Applications
EARTHQUAKE APPLICATIONS

Once a building is damaged be earthquakes, the


terrain inside(and outside) the building is
completely undefined. You need true multi-terrain
vehicles with walking abilities that can transform
interchangeably into crawling machines to get
past obstacles and reach the buildings and
structures that need to be repaired.
MEDICAL APPLICATIONS

A fractal robot system with 1mm cubes can get


into the human body through a 2mm pin hole
and rebuild itself inside the body into surgical
instruments and perform the operation without
having to open up the patient.
SPACE EXPLORATION

Space is probably one of the best application


areas of fractal robots because of its
cheapness,built in self repair and 100%
automation possibilites.

conclusion
...............

The use of fractal robots can make many


sensitive tasks easy with the benefit of
saving time. This technology has the
potential to penetrate every field of human
work . These all features promises to
revolutionize technology in a way that has
never been witnesses before.
