Well boys, I've made it somewhat. As of 9th December my title has been
upgraded to the one indicated in the signature below :-)
You may have seen me in the International version of the Finacial Times
newspaper on 11th December page 6.
I've talked about fractal shape changing robots for a while now.. I've
started commercialising the technology with at least two projects that
have got off the ground. I guess the first prototypes are only a couple
of weeks away now.
The prospect of a Terminator 2 liquid metal like robot with self repair
is a real possibility and I am wondering how many universities and
research organisations want to participate.
The total cost is around $25m tops for chips, manufacturing equipment,
software and all the rest. The robot is to be made from glass extrusion
technology - similar to the fibre optic cable manufacturing technology.
Its going to be vastly cheaper than micro-machining technology. The
robot cubes will be about 1mm in size.
Information on the robot technology can be found at ftp.demon.co.uk in
directory /pub/ibmpc/dos/apps/graphics/pm in file pm5.zip which is a
Microsoft Word 2.0 document. This will be ugraded soon to pm7.zip. A
university is working on a web page. When it is complete, I'll mail the
address.
I'm thinking of organising an international meeting/conference for all
those wishing to participate here in London in England. No dates as yet,
and it all depends on responses from you out there. For all those
wishing to participate, whether its to come along and listen or to walk
away with chunks of the project, please send me mail so I can estimate
the numbers and organise this meeting accordingly. Hotels in this area
are cheap if you're thinking of staying for a few days :-)
I'll keep posting information over the next few days as things develop.

Thank you for this fine resource. I'll have my people
link up with JM's people and we'll work out a strategy.

The first European Inventor of the Year awards took place at the
AutoWorld Museum in Brussels on 3 May 2006. Prizes were presented in
six categories.

Looks like 7 made up an award for himself.
