Nanorobotics is currently a much studied field by the international scientific world. Numerous applications of nanorobotics make it to expand in several areas. This occurs through the integration of several disciplines, including nanofabrication processes used to produce nanorobots, nanoactuators, nano-sensors and nanometer scale physical modeling. Some of the most important applications of nan...

The set of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) based on relative motion of carbon nanotubes walls is proposed for use in medical nanorobots. This set includes electromechanical nanothermometer, jet nanoengine, nanosyringe (the last can be used simultaneously as nanoprobe for individual biological molecules and drug nanodeliver). Principal schemes of these NEMS are considered. Operational chara...

With the rise in the use of AFM (Atomic Force Microscope), we have witnessed a growing use of atomic microscope based nanorobots in the precise displacement of various particles. There are certain limitations to the application of nanorobots in the moving of nanoparticles. One of the most important of these limitations is the lack of an appropriate image feedback concurrent with the displaci...

Chiral Photonic Micromotors Liquid crystalline polymers present an attractive option for the development of soft micro- and nanorobots. In article number 2207095, Kristiaan Neyts co-workers report on chiral photonic microparticles that show light-induced uni- bidirectional spinning speed control. The results offer a new approach to create light-powered rotary micromotors at micrometer scale.

This paper introduces a new approach for complete drift modeling and compensation for Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPMs) as conventional nanorobots. Although, before this, drift was described as remained error after hysteresis and creep compensation, it can seriously a ect SPM performance. Since experimental work accentuated that thermal strain has a dominant contribution, the present model incl...

This paper presents a molecular mechanics study using a molecular dynamics software (NAMD) coupled to virtual reality (VR) techniques for intuitive bio-nanorobotic prototyping. Using simulated bio-nano environments in VR, the operator can design and characterize through physical simulation and 3-D visualization the behavior of protein-based components and structures. The main novelty of the pro...

The human body comprises molecules; hence, the availability of molecular nanotechnology will permit dramatic progress to address medical problems and will use molecular knowledge to maintain and improve human health at the molecular scale. Nanomedicine could develop devices that are able to work inside the human body in order to identify the early presence of a disease, and to identify and quan...
