The full shape shifting potential of Tetrahedral Robotics as MEMS or NEMS level material to create a dynamic architecture is demonstrated in this quicktime movie, i.e. representing morphing of multi-faceted sail structure.

Static structures are optimized for a particular space, wheeled or permanently appendaged vehicles are optimized for a particular terrain with a range of slopes, obstacles, and coefficients of friction. Either approach can seriously limit reconnaissance and exploration in natural or damaged human terrains.

Tetrahedral rovers could provide extreme mobility, enhancing capabilities ranging from uncovering clues to the origin of complex structures to protecting humans from/in dangerous environments through our patent protected ART Addressable Reconfigurable Technology for synthetic
1) skeletal muscular system with self-similar components,
2) neural system with bilevel (heuristic and autonomic) intelligence across an evolvable interface, and behavioral control (SANE Stability Algorithm for Neural Entities).
