Self Structuring and Computing System

SELF STRUCTURING AND COMPUTING SYSTEM

A modular self structuring and computing system includes a matrix formed of a plurality of modules. Each module comprises up to six connecting assemblies that are detach­ably coupled to one another through pin and hole type connections to form a housing for a power source. Each connecting assembly includes a pivotally mounted leg with a connecting plate attached thereto and a central connector. The power source located at the center of the module communicates with each of the central connectors. Various modules in a matrix can be directed to move or pivot their legs to move or change the overall structure of the matrix or to conduct a task, such as replacing the power source of a module.

A MODULAR SELF STRUCTURING AND COMPUTING SYSTEM

A modular self-structuring computing system includes a matrix formed of a plurality of modules. Each module has a set of connecting legs, a set of connecting plates, an internal computer system and an internal power system. Preferably, a center housing is provided with six extending legs having connecting plates on the end of each leg. The housing, or core, supports the legs in a pivotal manner and includes compartments for energy cells and a computer processor. Groups of elements may be formed into a matrix type structure and by directing various modules to move or pivot their legs, the overall structure can move to change its shape and/or size.
