Abstract

Nano-robots are the robots that are simply known as that controllable machine at the nano (10-9) meter or molecular scale, composed of nano-components. More specifically, nano robotics refers to the still largely hypothetical nanotechnology engineering discipline of designing and building nano robots. Even though the field of nano robotics is fundamentally different from that of the macro robots due to the differences in scale and material, there are many similarities in design and control techniques that eventually could be projected and applied. Due to the modern scientific capabilities, it has become possible to attempt the creation of nano robotic devices and interface them with the macro world for control. There are countless such machines which exist in nature and there is an opportunity to build more of them by mimicking nature. Nowadays these nano robots play a vital role in the field of Bio Medicine. Especially in the treatment of cancer, Cerebral Aneurysm, kidney stones removal, also to remove the defected part in our DNA structure and some other treatments that has the greatest aid to save human lives. This paper guides to the recent research on nano robots in the Bio medical applications.

Highlights

Nanotechnology can best be defined as a description of activities at the level of atoms and molecules that have applications in the real world
Some proponents of nano robotics, in reaction to the grey goo scare scenarios, hold the view that nano robots capable of replication outside of a restricted factory environment do not form a necessary part of a purported productive nanotechnology and that the process of self-replication, if it were ever to be developed, could be made inherently safe
Nano robots applied to medicine hold a wealth of promise from eradicating disease to reversing the aging process; nano robots are candidates for industrial applications

Summary

Introduction

Nanotechnology can best be defined as a description of activities at the level of atoms and molecules that have applications in the real world. Some proponents of nano robotics, in reaction to the grey goo scare scenarios, hold the view that nano robots capable of replication outside of a restricted factory environment do not form a necessary part of a purported productive nanotechnology and that the process of self-replication, if it were ever to be developed, could be made inherently safe They further assert that their current plans for developing and using molecular manufacturing do not include free-foraging replicator. The main goal in the field of molecular machines is to use various biological elements whose function at the cellular level creates motion, force or a signal as machine components These components perform their preprogrammed biological function in response to the specific physiochemical stimuli but in an artificial setting. The advantage of using nature’s machine components is that they are highly efficient and reliable (Figure 1)
