ABSTRACT

Nanorobotics is the technology of creating machines or robots at or close to the

microscopic scale of a nanometer (10í9 meters). More specifically, nanorobotics refers to
the still largely hypothetical nanotechnology engineering discipline of designing and
building nanorobots, devices ranging in size from 0.1-10 micrometers and constructed of
nanoscale or molecular components.[1]

Nanotechnology is so new that no one is really sure what will come out of it. Even so,
predictions range from the ability to reproduce things like diamonds and food to the world
being devoured by self-replicating nanorobots. Many new nanotechnology research fields
require a high degree of precision in both observing and manipulating materials at the
atomic level[2].

The advanced nanorobotics technology needed to manipulate materials at this scale, a

million times smaller than a grain of sand, is being developed .The integration of different
technologies to act as simultaneous real-time nanoscale `eyes´ and `hands´, including the
advanced nanorobotics, high-resolution ion/electron microscopy, image processing/vision
control and sophisticated sensors, will be the key to realising such nanomanipulation.[3]

This seminar presents the major aspects of nanorobotics which are at the verge
of implementation and would be no less than revolution in the field of medicine if

brought into reality.
