How would it work

How would you get the nanobots to change shape/react when it happens, for the seatbelt example, what would trigger them and get them to change shape? The snare 10:13, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Electrical impulses, they act like a brain, basically, each one forming a neuron. To be frank, this tech seems to be approaching some of the more exceedingly dangerous aspects of nanotech. I would advocate extremely tight control over it. Jachra (talk) 04:04, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why? This isn't talking about self-replicating machines, so I just don't see the danger. Dysfunction (talk) 04:09, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Claytronics

This project at CMU seems to have similar goals...

A note by Chris Henson

A note by Chris Henson: Potential algorithms for Foglet communication exist today as routing protocols which are currently used in routing and switching infrastructure which supports the public Internet, (as well as private networks). Routing Protocols such as BGP, EIGRP and OSPF all contain mechanisms for neighbor discovery and neighbor maintenance, mechanisms for sending and receiving information about directly connected nodes, node states, etc., thus allowing each individual node to create its own picture of the entire network. Furthermore, at any time, most routing protocols can quickly adapt to disruption in the network converging on a decision to use a new path for communication. The tens of thousands of Routers which participate in the world's Internet backbone can be thought of as a potential great-grandfather for Utility Fog. Each Internet router has its own individual route table, each single route table containing millions of routes as well as each Router having multiple interfaces which connect physically to other Internet backbone routers. Each internet router has the ability to select best path, overcome and adapt to outages within the Internet. From a communication standpoint, Utility Fog is a microscopic model of the entire Internet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.176.183.104 (talk • contribs)

Jacek Dukaj's "Perfect imperfection" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfekcyjna_niedoskonałość ) novel make big use of Utility fog, to create for example real manifestations of virtual AI, and for many other purposes.
