WHAT IS NANOROBOTICS?

Programmable assembly of nm-scale components either by

manipulation with macro or micro devices, or by directed
self-assembly.
Design and fabrication of robots with overall dimensions at
or below the m range and made of nm-scale components.
Programming and coordination of large numbers (swarms)
of such nanorobots.
Applications, especially biology, medicine and the environment.
Robotic science:
•Different phenomena at the nanoscale: surface forces, quantum
effects, …
•Environments with large spatial uncertainties.
•Dynamic environments, robustness, adaptability, …
•New trade-offs between computation, motion, communication, …
•New strategies, algorithms, software, hardware…
•Minimalist robotics.
•Swarm robotics.
 HOW NANO ROBOTS WORKS
•1. A doctor offers the patient an injection of a nanorobot.
2. Seeks out cancer cells and destroy them.
•3. Dispells the disease at the source, leaving the healthy cells
untouched.
4.instead of pillor a shot ,the docter refers you to a special medical team
which implant a tiny robot into your blood stream.
TREATING ARTERIOSCLEROSIS:
• Arteriosclerosis refers to a condition where plaque builds
along the walls of arteries,Nanorobots could conceivably
treat the condition by cutting away the plaque,which would
then enter the bloodstream.
•Nanorobot has to be small
and agile enough to navigate
through the human
circulatory system, an
incredibly complex network
of veins and arteries.
 BREAKING UP KIDNEY STONES:
Kidney stones can be intensely
painful -- the larger the stone the more difficult it is to
pass

• A nanorobot could break up a

kidney stones using a small
laser.
STRUCTURE OF NANOROBOTS:

Consists of,
Molecular sorting rotors
 Propeller
 Fins
 Sensors
MOLECULAR SORTING ROTORS:
• Made up of carbon nanotubes.
•Sheet of carbon atom forms a
carbon nanotubes.
• SWNT’s can be used to generate mechanical motion.
• Nanotube with nanogears used for changing the direction of movement.
Propeller:
• Like that in nanorobots it is used to drive forward against
the blood stream.
Fins:
• Fitted along with the propellers used to propel the device.
Sensors:
• Fitted externally and internally with the nanorobots to receive the
signal for correct guidance
NAVIGATION
 Every living thing needs area to move.

 Nanorobots use blood flow for its movement.

 In order to move the nanorobots in blood

 flow,

• Speed of blood
• Get through the heart without stuck
• React with changes in blood flow rate
• Able to change the direction according to the blood stream
 To satisfy this, nanorobots should be made with electric motors to turn
propeller.
 POWERING THE NANOROBOT
•nanotechnologists are considering both external
and internal power sources.
•Nanorobots could get power directly from the
bloodstream
•A nanorobot could use the patient's bodyheat to create power,
•The Seebeck effect occurs when two conductors made of different metals are
joined at two points that are kept at two different temperature.
•External power sources include systems where the nanorobot is either
tethered to the outside world or is controlled without a physical tether.
 NANOROBOT LOCOMOTION
Assuming the nanorobot isn't tethered or designed to float passively through the
bloodstream, it will need a means of propulsion to get around the body

Paramecium move through their environment using tiny tail-like limbs called
cilia .By vibrating the cilia, the paramecium can swim in any direction.
 TEENY, TINYTOOLS

•Medicine cavity –

•Probes, knives and chisels

•Microwave emitters and

ultrasonic Nanorobot tools will have to
signal generators be small enough to manipulate
cells like these red blood cells.
•Electrodes

•Lasers
NANOROBOTS: TODAY AND TOMORROW
Teams around the world are working on
creating the first practical medical
nanorobot. Robots ranging from a
millimeter in diameter to a relatively
hefty two centimeters long already exist,
though they are all still in the testing
phase of development and haven't been
used on people.
 In the future, nanorobots could
revolutionize medicine. Doctors could
treat everything from heart disease to
cancer using tiny robots the size of
bacteria, a scale much smaller than
today's robots.
•Another potential future application of
nanorobot technology is to re-engineer our
bodies to become resistant to disease, increase
our strength or even improve our intelligence. .
Dr. Richard Thompson, a former professor of
ethics, has written about the ethical implications
of nanotechnology.
 NANOROBOTICS CONTROL

 Developing nanoscale robots

presents difficult fabrication
and control challenges.
 A practical approach within
advanced graphics
simulations is presented for
the problem of nanorobots
automation and its
application for medicine.
 NANOROBOTS INSIDE OUR BODIES

 Nanorobotics, an emerging field

in medicine which states that
nanorobots soon will travel inside
our bodies, digging for
information, finding defects or
delivering drugs.

 If their designs can be realized,

“nanorobots” might one day
detect and break apart kidney
stones, clear plaque from blood
vessels, or ferry drugs to tumor
cells.
 APPLICATIONS
IN MEDICLE FIELD

•Treating arteriosclerosis
• Breaking up blood clots
• Fighting cancer
• Parasite Removal
• Breaking up kidney stones
•Advantages: Rapid elimination of disease.
 IN MONITERING OCENS

•Nanorobot might function at the atomic and

molecular level to build devices, machines or
circuits known as molecular manufacturing.

• Nanorobots might also produce copies of

themselves to replace worn-out units, a
process called self-replication.

• The major advantage of nanorobots is

thought to be their durability, in theory, they
can remain operational for years, decades or
centuries.
 CONCLUSION
 The nanorobots are used in heart
surgery, due to this number of risks and
side effects behind is reduced.

 The same technique is used in various

treatments like cancer, breaking kidney
stones, breaking liver stones, parasite
removal only with slight modification
 
 Within ten year several advancement
technologies should be made from this
nanorobotics
