Collection of microrobots that transforms into anything the user desires

Programmable to simulate most physical properties

Replacement of robots programmed just for specific purposes

INTRODUCTION

Concept coined by Dr John Storrs Hall in 2001

Based on the concept of molecular nanotechnology

Conglomeration of 100-micron robotic cells or foglets

Each foglet is the size of a human cell with 12 arms

INTRODUCTION

Robot (foglet) with the size of a human cell

Swarm of foglets known as utility fog

Enables - creation levitation manipulation teleportation shape shifting

A BETTER IDEA ABOUT UTILITY FOG

Native mode

•Mobility concept-Can move in different directions and can perform any mechanical action•Example :•Table-solid and locked•Fan-solid components with moving joints

Fog mode

•Static concept-Static foglets ,Pixelate, to transmit information and sound•Example:•Display screen on immovable objects with 100 micron resolution with a processing power of 286 PC

FOGLET

ARMVOICEINPUT

GRIPPER FOGLET

Exoskeleton made up of aluminium oxide

Each Foglet has twelve arms, arranged as the faces of a dodecahedron.

Spherical central body-10 micron

12 telescopic arms-50 micron long ,5 microns in diameter

Arms with swivel joints at the base with 4 degree of freedom

Three grippers on each arm for interconnecting foglets.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIESBasic structure

Couplers Communication and power control

Optical waveguide Communication from user

Power and electrical transmission line Power supply in foglet

Grippers Locking foglets together

Four Basic Components

Foglets run on electricity, store hydrogen as an energy buffer.

Hydrogen fuel tank-Hydrogen ions combine with oxygen to produce electricity and water vapour as by-products

Some waste heat generated by Fog at work can be utilized in heat pumps

Colour and reflectivity of an object are results of its properties as an antenna in the micron wavelength region. 

FOGLETS IN DETAIL

Takes commands ,processes it using pre-processor and passes results among other foglets

Done by building a nanocontroller which can direct a 10 kilohertz robot.

Control of the arms is actually simple - Managed by simple controllers that take commands like "Move to point X at speed y.“

RISC design allows single processor to control a 100 kHz arm; using auxiliary controllers let it do all 12 easily.

Communcations and control

Major advantage is safety Cars-Seat belt Safety from nuclear explosions Household safety

Physical manipulation & assembly

Transportation

Reduces wastage of space

Life made easy

ADVANTAGES OF UTILITY FOG ENVIRONMENT

Build efficient machines for long distance information propagation and physical transportation

For local use and interface with worldwide network Space researches

Manages pressure in space suits

No worries on floating of the ship

Shape shifting reduces wastage of space

Applications and uses

Cannot stimulate very hard materials

Lack of self intelligence

Cannot handle anything involving chemical reactions

Cannot form food or water

Cannot produce high temperatures

LIMITATIONS

Replacement for all the technologies around us

More compatible and sophisticated

Safer environment

Wonder world making life easy and lazy
