 Nanotechnology :
“Research and technology development at
the atomic, molecular and macromolecular levels in the length
scale of approximately 1 -100 nanometer range, to provide a
fundamental understanding of phenomena and materials at the
nanoscale and to create and use structures, devices and systems
that have novel properties and functions because of their small
and/or intermediate size.”

NanoRobot :
It that can be created with existing
technology , that can be used to seek out and destroy inimical
tissue within the human body that cannot be accessed by other
means.

 Gist of Nanomedicine:
The most advanced nanomedicine involves the use of
Nanorobots as miniature surgeons.

Introduce the device into the body:

The first is that the size of the nanomachine determines the
minimum size of the blood vessel that it can traverse.
The second consideration is we have to get it into the body without
being too destructive in the first place.

 circulatory system

femoral artery

Femoral artery is in fact the normal access point to the

circulatory system for operations that require access to
the bloodstream for catheters, dye injections, etc., so it will
suit our purposes.

 Move the device around body:
1.propeller

2.Cilia/flagellae:

3.Crawl along surface:

 Movement of device
1.Ultrasonic

3.X-Ray

2.NMR/MRI

SEMINOR TITLE: NANO ROBOTS DATE:19-3-2010

 Control device:
1.Chemical:
Chemical sensors can be used to detect trace
chemicals in the bloodstream and use the relative concentrations
of those chemicals to determine the path to take to reach the
unwanted tissue

2.Spectroscopic:
The laser diode is more practical due to the
difficulty of striking an arc in a liquid medium and also
due to the side effects possible when sampling near
nerve tissue

3.TV camera :
It involves us having a TV camera in the device
and transmitting its picture outside the body to a remote
control station, allowing the people operating the device to
steer it.

 Means of treatment:
Treatment means we must remove the unwanted
tissue or substance from the body.
This can be done in of several ways
1.Physical removal:
2.Physical trauma
a. Resonant microwaves/ultrasonics
b.Heat
c.Microwave
d.Ultrasonics
e.Power of blood stream

 Power to NanoRobots:

In this case, the power would be transmitted to the microrobot from

outside the body. This can be done in a number of different ways,
but it boils down to two possibilities.

ØThe first is to transmit the power by means of a physical

connection,
Ø The second, of course, is to transmit it without a physical
a. Physical connection:
connection.
In this we would need some sort of wire or cable to
carry power between the microrobert and the outside power source
b. No physical connection:
In this we transmit power with out the use of wires or
any sort of physical means to transfer the power
By using ultra sonic and induced magnetic

 Advantages of NanoRobots:

1.speed of medical treatment

2.Non-degradation of treatment

3.Control of Nanomedical treatment

4.Faster and more precise Diagnosis

5. Verification of progress and treatment

6.Minimum side effects

 ConclusioN
:

A nanostructured data storage device about the size of a human liver cell
implanted in the brain could store a large amount of data and provides
extremely rapid access to this information.
But perhaps the most important long-term benefit to human society as a
whole could be the dawning of a new era of peace. We could hope that
people who are independently well fed, well-clothed, well-housed, smart, well
educated, healthy and happy will have little motivation to make war. Human
beings who have a reasonable prospect of living many "normal" lifetimes will
learn patience from experience, and will be extremely unlikely to risk those
"many lifetimes“
for any but the most compelling of reasons.
