    or even hundreds of small autonomous robots which could‚ through coordination‚ achieve a global effect not possible by any single unit. In general the goal of these projects was to adapt to the environment to facilitate‚ for example‚ improved locomotion. Our work on claytronics departs from previous work in several important ways. One of the primary goals of claytronics is to form the basis for a new media type‚ pario. Pario‚ a logical extension of audio and video‚ is a media type used to reproduce
