Abstract: Primary focus of the seminar will be on robotic behaviors in single molecules. We start with legs implementing local residency rules, and build higher-order behaviors by adding leg-leg communications, and introducing various sensors. Current robots walk directionally over prescriptive landscapes or walk randomly searching for sticky points. But, could they leave their well-controlled environments and interact with living tissues?
