Origami structures and advanced nanomechanics allow researchers to make robots. That can operate without microchips. Or even without electricity.
The new origami robots use interesting nanomaterial. Some microchips handle boolean formulas. The nanomaterial follows the boolean logic commands like "AND", "OR", and "NOT". Each of those boolean logic commands determines the direction where those robots must go. The origami robots that are masterpieces of technology can make multiple things. The thing is that there are multiple microchips in the structure and each of those microchips can make different things because they are connected with different parts of that material.
"By embedding flexible and electrically conductive materials into a pre-cut, thin polyester film sheet, the researchers created a system of information-processing units, or transistors, which can be integrated with sensors and actuators". (ScitechDaily.com/Origami Robotics: Scientists Push the Boundaries of Autonomous Capabilities)
"They then programmed the sheet with simple computer analogical functions that emulate those of semiconductors. Once cut, folded, and assembled, the sheet transformed into an autonomous robot that can sense, analyze and act in response to their environments with precision. The researchers named their robots “OrigaMechs,” short for Origami MechanoBots." (ScitechDaily.com/Origami Robotics: Scientists Push the Boundaries of Autonomous Capabilities)
There is a possibility that some of the most futuristic robots are operating without microchips. The idea is that the complicated string-shaped molecules that are reacting to different types of stress like different sound frequencies. The thing is that the enzyme or protein springs can return to their original position by using the oppositely acting springs. And maybe in the future, some robots can operate without microchips by using outside stress. These kinds of robots can be very effective systems if they must travel in very high-power EMP fields.
The wooden transistor is causing the idea that maybe things like cellulose fibers can act as transistors or microchips. But there is also the possibility that things like advanced memory materials also can use as systems that can control the robot's movements. There is the possibility that the robot's structure involves cellulose fibers and a series of protein and enzyme fibers that can resonate when an outsider actor will stress those protein enzyme fibers with certain radiation or soundwave with certain frequencies.
In some models, a certain molecule that impacts those highly advanced materials will launch a reaction that moves the structure. The idea is that when certain chemical impacts those complicated structures it releases the string-looking molecule. The movements of those structures can be highly accurate if there is a series of string- and spring-looking molecules in the structure.
