Overview

The kind of technology envisioned here could be 2D arrays of robotic manipulators out of atomically precise blocks / base structures on a chips surface possibly capable to replicate themselves when given the right sequence of commands through broadcast channels of the chips surface.

Here is an example of an block based system capable of self replication www.thingiverse.com/thing:978 (KRSM type: nonproductive replicator)

An actual implementation will look quite different since:

  • the blocks / parts will have different properties
  • the actuation method will differ
  • the system is two dimensional
  • a productive instead of a nonproductive replicator is wished for

To investigate:

  • How to assemble the materials used in the next technology level with the here present block based nanosystems?
