NanoRobotics

Nanorobotics is an emerging field of technology that creates machines or robots with elements that are at or near the nanometer scale (10−9 meters). [1] [2] [3] Specifically, nanorobotic (unlike microrobotic) refers to the engineering field of nanotechnology for the design and construction of nanorobots, with devices ranging in size from 0.1 to 10 micrometres and composed of nanoscale materials. or molecular. [4] [5] The terms nanobot, nanoid, nanite, nanomachine, or nanomite have also been used to describe such devices that are currently being researched and developed.

Nanomachines are mainly in the research and development phase, [8] but some ancient molecular machines and nanomotors have been tested. For example a sensor that can be adjusted about 1.5 nanometers across, able to calculate certain molecules in a chemical sample. The first useful applications for nanomachines can be nanomedicine. For example, [9] biological machines can be used to identify and destroy cancer cells. [10] [11] Other potential uses are for the detection of toxic chemicals, and for measuring their concentration, in the environment. Rice University has exhibited a single-molecular vehicle made into a chemical process and includes Buckminsterfullerenes (buckyballs) wheels. It works by controlling the ambient temperature and by placing the tip of the boat at the scanning microscope.

Another explanation [for whom?] A robot that allows direct contact with nanoscale objects, or that can control nanoscale adjustment. Such devices are closely related to microscopy or scanning probe microscopy, rather than to the definition of nanorobots as molecular machines. Using a microscope definition, or a large device such as an atomic power microscope can be considered as a nanorobotic device when it is designed to perform nanomanipulation. According to this view, macroscale robots or microrobots that can travel at nanoscale precision can also be considered nanorobots.
