INTRODUCTION

 A Nanorobot is a tiny machine designed to perform a specific task or tasks repeatedly with dimensions of few nanometres
(nm) or less where 1 nm=meter.
 Nanorobots might function at the atomic or molecular level to build devices, machines or circuits, a process known as
molecular manufacturing.
 Nanorobots might also produce copies of themselves to replace worn-out units, a process known as self replication.
 ROBOTICS
 It is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent usually an electromechanical machine that is guided by computer program or electronic
circuit.
 Examples: ASIMO, TOPIO, Nanorobots, Swarm robots and industrial robots.

 Different types of robots:

1. Mobile Robots

2. Rolling Robots

3. Walking Robots

4. Stationary Robots

5. Autonomous Robots

6. Beam Robots

7. Virtual Robots

8. Remote-Control Robots
NANOTECHNOLOGY

 It is the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale.

 It works with material, devices and other structures with at least dimensions from 1 to 100.

 With variety of applications, nanotechnology is the next future.

NANOROBOTICS

 It is emerging technology field creating machines or robots whose components are at close to the scale of

 Nanorobotics refer to nanotechnology engineering discipline of designing and building nanorobots, with devices ranging
from 0.1-10 micrometres and are constructed of nanoscale or molecular components
 Other names include Nanobots, Nanoids, Nanites, Nano-machines and Nanomites.
 One of the most advanced form nanorobotics is Nanorobots. Nanorobots are microscopic devices measured on the scale
of nanometres.

TYPES OF MAKING NANOROBOTS

1. NUBOTS: The first approach is through nubots. Nubot is abbreviation for ‘Nucleic Acid Robots’. Nubots are organic
molecular machines at nanoscales. DNA structure can provide means to assemble 2D and 3D nanomechanical devices.
2. BACTERIA BASED: This approach proposes the use of biological microrganisms, like Bacteria E-coli. Thus the model
uses flagellum for propulsion purposes. The use of electromagnetic fields are usually applied to control the motion of
this kind of biological motion.
APPLICATIONS

 ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPE

 NANO MACRO/MICROSCALE ROBOTS

 NANOMACHINES

 TOXICITY DETECTORS

 SINGLE MOLECULAR CARS

 NUBOTS

 MEDICINE

 DENTISTRY
 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
 ADVANTAGES:

1. The microscopic size of nanomachines translates into high operational speed.

2. Individual units requires small amount of energy.

3. Faster and more precise diagnosis.

4. Self-replication process

5. Non-degradation of treatment agents

 DISADVANTAGES:

1. Replication may become out of control.

2. Risk of cancer

3. Costly

4. Technology may take several year to come in practical use.

CONCLUSION

 Nanorobotics is one of the emerging fields in technology and robotics. Nanorobotics is the technology of crearing
machines or robots at or close to the scale of nanometre. This presentation describes the design of nanorobots,
applications and advantages as well as disadvantages
