The Term Nanorobots

The engineering of molecular products needs tobe carried out by robotic devices.

A nanorobot is essentially a controllablemachine at the nano meter or molecular scaledthat is composed of nano-scale components.

Cont

Nanorobotos would constitue any passive oractive structure (nanoscale) capable of actuation,sensing, signaling, information processing,intelligence , swarm behavior at nano scale.

Characteristic Abilitiesi. Swarm Intelligence - decentralization and

distributed intelligence

ii. Cooperative Behaviour - emergent andevolutionary behaviouriii. Self Assembly and Replication - assemblage at

nano scale and "nano maintenance"iv. Nano Information Processing and

Programmability- For programming andcontrolling nanobots (autonomous nanorobotos)v. Nano to Macro world interface architecture

- an architecture enabling instance accesses to thenanorobots and its control and maintenance

Applications on Nano Robotics :

Potential Medical Applications

Breaking kidney stones,

Repairing of damaged tissues,

Unblocking of arteries affected by plaques,

Used to find glucose demand in diabetes patient,

Construction of complete replacement bodyorgans.

Current Status of Medical Nanorobots

Nano-pioneer Robert Freitas has designednanorobots smaller than red blood cells that can

travel throughout the human body. His creations would be constructed of carbon atoms

in a diamondoid structure with smooth surfaces toprevent rejection from the immune system.

Glucose or natural body sugars and oxygen from thebody would power these tiny 'bots, which will alsopossess a two-way communication system.

To purify wastes in water,

To check diagnose and reorganize biological

structures.
