Whither Microbots?
In the past few years there has been a great deal of discussion about the feasibility and desirability of developing microminiature robots which could be deployed en masse to do useful tasks. We attempt to examine some of the important issues involved in such a would-be endeavor, including matters of scale and controllability. Robots require considerable computational resources to be adaptive a...
متن کاملMicrobots deliver the goods
Microbots deliver the goods B y combining two not-so-effi cient DNA delivery systems into one, Demir Akin, Rashid Bashir (Purdue University, Indiana), and colleagues have engineered super effi cient, DNA-delivering “microbots.” Viruses, bacteria, and nanoparticles are used to deliver DNA to cells. But when used in the body, each delivery vehicle has its limitations. Nanoparticles have the advan...
متن کاملEnsembles of millions of microbots
This paper is submitted to Invited Session: New Trends in Modular Robotics. Abstract— Taking the inevitability of micron-scale manufacturing as a starting point, we present claytronics, a modular robotics system designed to scale to millions of cooperating, sub-millimeter scale units. The goal is for the system to act as a coherent mass and thereby mimic, with high-fidelity and in 3dimensional ...

Exploratory in nature, this study was designed to identify some of the personality trait configurations and attitude change patterns related to individual differences in cold coping capacity (CCC). Three enlisted marines participated in a week-long cold weather North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) combat exercise in upper Norway. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was a...

Plasma vitamin C levels were determined for 28 submariners prior to, during, and after a 68-day patrol. A significant reduction occurred in plasma vitamin C levels during the patrol compared to levels obtained before and after the patrol. These reductions were unrelated to health and performance effects as determined by total dispensary visits, frequency of upper respiratory infections, and tra...
