Digital Clay modules
Digital Clay modules in the hand of a research scientist. The two dodecahedral modules are first generation prototypes, which are part of a modular robotics project. Each of the modules twelve faces has a connector and computer link, allowing it to attach to other modules and know its orientation in space. Digital Clay modules are being used to test software and hardware communications, which are being implemented in more advanced moving modular robots (PolyBot project) and self-reconfigurable modular robots (Telecube project). Digital Clay modules are being developed at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), USA

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, we see a research scientist holding two dodecahedral Digital Clay modules in their hand. These first-generation prototypes are part of an innovative modular robotics project taking place at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in the United States. The Digital Clay modules are a groundbreaking development in the field of robotics, designed to test software and hardware communications. Each module boasts twelve faces with connectors and computer links, enabling them to attach to other modules seamlessly while maintaining awareness of their orientation in space. As the scientist delicately cradles these cutting-edge creations, it is evident that they hold immense potential for revolutionizing robotic technology. The intricate connections within each module symbolize the interconnectedness and adaptability that lie at the heart of this research endeavor. These Digital Clay modules serve as crucial building blocks for more advanced moving modular robots under development as part of the PolyBot project. Additionally, they contribute to advancements in self-reconfigurable modular robots within the Telecube project. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in scientific exploration where human ingenuity merges with technological innovation. It serves as a testament to PARC's commitment to pushing boundaries and shaping our future through transformative discoveries.
