Two main areas have been identified in nanorobotics. The first is the design and simulation of nanodevices, based largely on aspects of macro-scale robots including power, communication, and navigation. The second, which has had more work done in it, involves the assembly of nanorobots through self-assembly or manipulation at the nanoscale. Techniques for this include the already proven use of ...

ConspectusRoom temperature liquid metal gallium-based materials have received tremendous attention owing to their potential promises in various aspects including bioengineering and smart medicine, flexible circuits electronic skins, transformable activators triboelectric nanogenerators, etc. Particularly, the usage of metals construct humanoid robots accomplish diverse dangerous missions leads ...

DNA, the well-known molecule that carries genetic information of almost all forms life, represents a pivotal element in formulating intelligent and versatile micro/nanorobotic systems. DNA-functionalized micro/nanorobots have opened new exciting opportunities many research areas due to synergistic combination self-propulsion at micro/nanoscale high specificity programmability DNA interactions. ...

Communication among microscopic robots (nanorobots) can coordinate their activities for biomedical tasks. The feasibility of in vivo ultrasonic communication is evaluated for micronsize robots broadcasting into various types of tissues. Frequencies between 10 MHz and 300 MHz give the best tradeoff between efficient acoustic generation and attenuation for communication over distances of about 10...

Targeted drug delivery with the use of nanorobots, a yet mostly theoretical but very promising future concept, is anticipated to become a significant ally in cancer treatment. The way that nanorobot systems are currently envisaged by researchers is such that they exhibit autonomous and collaborative behaviour that can be uniquely captured by multi-agent systems. In this paper, we investigate th...

In this paper we present how nanoelectronics should advance medicine, providing details on the teleoperated techniques and equipment design methodology necessary for the effective development of nanorobots. The platform architecture describes how to use a nanorobot for intracranial prognosis, and shows how it should be integrated for medical instrumentation. Furthermore, the current study estab...
