Abstract
With the advent of new discoveries in material sciences, it may be possible , in the future, to construct extremely small robots. Explores the idea of employing an excitable medium in the form of a molecular array of sensors a nd actuators to provide the controller for a neuro-robot by exploiting dece ntralised computation.
