The cubes can represent various tasks. Program all of them, see how they interact and proceed accordingly. Lots of basic research may prove useful in ways we haven't expected.

Can you do this with bricks?
If yes, then we can have self-assembling wall!

Does it get any more awesome than this?

So once we have something that is multitask capable, next we need to make it (extremely) energy efficient. And environment friendly. And capable of finding its own energy from multiple nearby sources. It would need to be self programming to cope with all this complexity of function. It would also need to have the ability to shutdown 40%- 60% of processors to save energy when they are not being used. It would need very sophisticated and capable sensors. Communication between devices is a must. And a self repair function would be useful. How about self replication?
Once we have all that, additional programming is needed to sort out the mass of incoming data and exclude the unremarkable or pointless. It needs to make full use of predictive programming to speed reaction times.
You would then need to invent something called SNOTR, because extremely sophisticated, highly efficient, environmentally integrated, self programming devices with the (proven) ability to preprocess information to exclude the dross, do in fact get something called BORED.

These are the origins of every robots... past, present or future... make them smaller or bigger and then, programmed them to a robots. And if they need to disintegrate, it is easy for them to do so and integrate again... to a different shape or scale. What a genius. These are great ideas for the future.

come on, no t-1000 references?
