In summary, the conversation is about the potential of adding voice recognition to control systems for virtual pets. The idea was well-received and there was a reference to the Borg cube from Star Trek as inspiration for this technology.

If they can add voice recognition to the control system, these would make great virtual pets.

When I watched the video, I kept picturing Arnold Schwarzenegger saying "I'll be block".nsaspook said:

Fascinating technology. I've seen videos of similar robots before but these seem far more polished. I'll be following with interest, I have an image of a futuristic box of lego that pops up into whatever the owner needs...

1. How do these small cubes self-assemble?
The small cubes are equipped with tiny magnets that allow them to connect with each other and form larger structures. These magnets are programmed to attract and repel in specific ways, allowing the cubes to fit together and form desired shapes.
2. What is the purpose of these self-assembling cubes?
These cubes are designed for various applications, such as creating small robots or structures that can be used in medicine, construction, or even space exploration. They have the potential to revolutionize the way we build and interact with technology.
3. How are these cubes controlled?
The cubes are controlled through a computer program that sends signals to each individual cube's magnet. This allows for precise control and coordination of the cubes to form specific shapes and structures.
4. Can these cubes be programmed to perform specific tasks?
Yes, these cubes can be programmed to perform simple tasks such as moving in a certain direction or forming a specific shape. With further advancements in technology, it is possible to program them to perform more complex tasks and behaviors.
5. Are there any limitations to the capabilities of these self-assembling cubes?
As with any new technology, there are always limitations. Currently, the main limitations of these cubes are their size and the programming capabilities. However, as technology continues to advance, these limitations may be overcome, allowing for even more impressive applications of these self-assembling cubes.
