The motor they build is really cool..I immediately thought, man that's gotta have some really cool medical applications, particularly in prosthetics.

So it was really neat at the end of their video where they are working to push that out into some real world applications.

Very cool story..thanks for posting..

Hmm..I bet that's how the Transformers do it..with mechanical DNA and proteins

Thanks for sharing this video, it really does help show indicate some of the potential robotics has for the future at the small sizes presented. It would be interesting to see if the motor and modules could be further scaled down to sizes working in the micro/nano levels in the distant future.

For me this is a technology to watch for the future, alongside the programmable matter.
