Nano robotics
- chemical communication techniques for nanorobots foraging in fluid environments relevant for medical applications
- A multi-robot molecular machine system could be described as a system to perform molecular manufacturing at the atomic scale, whose constituent entities are capable of cooperating collectively.
- Designing nanorobotic systems deal with vast variety of sciences, from quantum molecular dynamics, to kinematic analysis
Size
- atom (~0.1nm)
- large molecule (~1-10nm)
- virus (~102nm)
- bacteria (~103nm)
Desirable abilities for a nanorobot to function
- Swarm Intelligence—decentralization and distributive intelligence
- Cooperative behavior—emergent and evolutionary behavior
- Self-assembly and replication—assemblage at nano scale and “nanomaintenance”
- Nanoinformation processing and programmability —for programming and controlling nanorobots (autonomous nanorobots)
- Nano to macroworld interface architecture — an architecture enabling instant access to the nanorobots and its control and maintenance
