Other Information Press Info HOME Engineering Information Software Computer software controls the shaping of the objects that are synthesised by moving cubes around.
All cubes communicate using a simple number scheme.
Each message is identified in advance and then a number is assigned. The first time around, the whole message and number is sent but the next time only the number is sent. The movement algorithms and self repair is implemented in centralised software. The cubes have a minimal computer chip about the same complexity as a watch or calculator that allows basic communications to be implemented and control of motors, sensors and actuators. The cubes have minimal intelligence.
