UTILITY FOG – WIKIPEDIA
Utility fog (coined by Dr. John Storrs Hall in 1993[1]) is a hypothetical collection of tiny robots that can replicate a physical structure.[2][3][4][5] As such, it is a form of self-reconfiguring modular robotics…

SELF-RECONFIGURING MODULAR ROBOTICS – WIKIPEDIA
Modular self-reconfiguring robotic systems or self-reconfigurable modular robots are autonomous kinematic machines with variable morphology. Beyond conventional actuation, sensing and control typically found in fixed-morphology robots, self-reconfiguring robots are also able to deliberately change their own shape by rearranging the connectivity of their parts, in order to adapt to new circumstances, perform new tasks, or recover from damage…

ROBOTICS: EXOTIC ROBOTS: MODULAR AND FRACTAL ROBOTS
A robot is generally designed for one particular activity, or at best a few closely related activities. This of course isn’t the ideal situation as many jobs require a large number of very different activities. For example, building the walls of a house and installing plumbing and electricity require very different tools and techniques. In practice this means you’ll end up designing either several different robots or a very complicated one…
Programmable matter – Wikipedia
PROGRAMMABLE MATTER – WIKIPEDIA
Programmable matter is matter which has the ability to change its physical properties (shape, density, moduli, conductivity, optical properties, etc.) in a programmable fashion, based upon user input or autonomous sensing. Programmable matter is thus linked to the concept of a material which inherently has the ability to perform information processing.
