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.
This arrays could be produced by some method between
- exponential assembly
- a pritive form self replication using use pre-built blocks and external signals from broadcast channels of the chips surface.
Here is an example of an There where already several block based self replication systems proposed designed and built. One of them can be found here www.thingiverse.com/thing:978
An actual implementation will be more on the exponential assembly side and less of a "nonproductive replicator" (KRSM classification)
Differences to most macroscopic models in existance capable of partial structural replication are:
- the blocks / parts will have different properties (low stiffness, low smoothness)
- the actuation method will differ (fast alternating big scale electric field / slow chemical stepping)
- the system may be 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?
