Scientists are now building a new kind of robot capable of self-assembly and doing tasks too difficult or too dangerous for human beings.

IBM is applying a breakthrough self-assembling nanotechnology to conventional chip manufacturing, borrowing a process from nature to build the next generation computer chips. The natural pattern-creating process that forms seashells, snowflakes, and enamel on teeth has been harnessed by IBM to form trillions of holes that are used to create insulating vacuums around the miles of nano-scale wires packed next to each other inside computer chips.

Six s-bot robots must work together to lift and move a heavy object. More at www.swarm-bots.org.

We are developing a modular robotic system that can be swallowed and will assemble inside the G.I. Tract for therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. ETH Zürich is one of four European universities participating in this project. My research involves the investigation of the self-assembly of the ARES robot inside the stomach. Using a specific magnet configuration on the connection face, assembly success rates of up to 90% are possible. more on http://www.iris.mavt.ethz.ch/msrl or http://www.zoltan-nagy.net

Berkeley Lab scientists are coaxing nanoscale rings and rods to assemble themselves into useful machines. More info: http://newscenter.lbl.gov/feature-stories/2008/10/31/no-assembly-required/
