Neil Gershenfeld on Robots - Dictionary of Arguments
Brockman I 167 Robots/Gershenfeld: What’s interesting about amino acids is that they’re not interesting. They have attributes that are typical but not unusual, such as attracting or repelling water. But just twenty types of them are enough to make you. In the same way, twenty or so types of digital-material part types - conducting, insulating, rigid, flexible, magnetic, etc. - are enough to assemble the range of functions that go into making modern technologies like robots and computers. By digitizing not just designs but the construction of materials, the same lessons that von Neumann and Shannon taught us apply to exponentially increasing fabricational complexity. >Noise/Shannon, >Symbols/Neumann, >Life, >Computers, >Technology.
