so, this is like nanobots?

[DesmondInnovation]

Not necessarily. It's for any scale, to which the geometric motion concept applies.

[mtdeezy]

so is there a point to this thing or is it just pretty

[DesmondInnovation]

A point: with the right design, automation can be broadened & streamlined to cover a far greater range of tasks by making it a programmed process. Technology can be simplified from being countless different devices & machines for every task to one simple type of element (module) that connects to others just like it to perform those tasks - with more flexibility & less hindrance, on top of that.

These Lego prototype mock-ups show the mechanical aspects of how these elements can work together.

[jamilnielsen]

it could be used for anything

you could even give them the ability to communicate together and find and use by them self Special Component

this shape will i believe can do far more then the square version of this.

[KarpatycGhost]

This thing keeps reminding me of a micro organism but with missing nucleus

[dannes22]

@DesmondInnovation But it will probobly be mostly used for nanobots I am guessing. // Replicators anyone? ( if you dont understand that watch stargate SG-1/Atlantis (:

[RoyOrbiton]

Very impressive.

[DesmondInnovation]

I appreciate your enthusiastic interest, unfortunately (sorry to say) right now I don't have anything produced, yet. I wish I could get things done much more quickly, but without the money & other necessary resources this is very difficult to do. These Lego mock-ups - even with their limitations, etc. - weren't cheap or simple to create, either. Basically the first thing I plan on doing once I get some samples is to take similar videos and post them both here on Youtube and on my website.

Would you mind posting another video so we can see your progress because as i said your last video was a year ago?
