Using Magnetism to Self-Assemble Shapes – Another Approach to Creating Tactile Shapes Magnetically
Description
Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are using magnetism to self-assemble tactile shapes. Cubes can be programmed very discerningly so that they only attach to a certain side of another cube. When considering construction of complex objects, the programmability of these cubes can change the production process in the future.
