Remember the exhibition scene from the movie "Big Hero 6" where "Hiro",the little guy builds micro robots that connect themselves to form any desired structure.
A team of students from design and research laboratory in London has developed cellular self assembling devices that can restructure themselves as instructed. These devices named called hypercells have ability to climb, roll or alter into any desired structure as per architectural requirement.
It uses arduino board and magnets that change pattern as they rotate. A single hypercell can roll itself and can even calculate shortest path to its destination.
Students purpose the use of this system as a replacement to current urban planning process.
