Digital Clay modules
Digital Clay modules in the hand of a research scientist. The two dodecahedral modules are first generation prototypes, which are part of a modular robotics project. Each of the modules twelve faces has a connector and computer link, allowing it to attach to other modules and know its orientation in space. Digital Clay modules are being used to test software and hardware communications, which are being implemented in more advanced moving modular robots (PolyBot project) and self-reconfigurable modular robots (Telecube project). Digital Clay modules are being developed at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, we see a research scientist holding two dodecahedral Digital Clay modules in their hand. These first-generation prototypes are part of an innovative modular robotics project taking place at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in the United States. The Digital Clay modules are a groundbreaking development in the field of robotics, designed to test software and hardware communications. Each module boasts twelve faces with connectors and computer links, enabling them to attach to other modules seamlessly while maintaining awareness of their orientation in space. As the scientist delicately cradles these cutting-edge creations, it is evident that they hold immense potential for revolutionizing robotic technology. The intricate connections within each module symbolize the interconnectedness and adaptability that lie at the heart of this research endeavor. These Digital Clay modules serve as crucial building blocks for more advanced moving modular robots under development as part of the PolyBot project. Additionally, they contribute to advancements in self-reconfigurable modular robots within the Telecube project. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in scientific exploration where human ingenuity merges with technological innovation. It serves as a testament to PARC's commitment to pushing boundaries and shaping our future through transformative discoveries.
