INTRODUCTION

NANOTECHNOLOGY
Nanotechnology is the
engineering of functional
systems that deals with the
dimensions of less than 100
nanometers, especially the
manipulation of individual
atoms and molecules.

A nanometer is one billionth


of a meter.
DEFINITION
Nanorobotics is the technology of creating
machines or robots at or close to the scale of a
nanometer (10-9 meters).

Nanorobots would typically be devices


ranging in size from 0.1-10 micrometers.

The nanorobots are expected to revolutionize


the medical industry, with the ability to treat at a
cellular level and make medical applications
easy and effective.
STRUCTURE OF
NANOROBOTICS
It consists of:
Molecular sorting motor
Propellers
Fins
sensors
ELEMENTS
Carbon is the principle element comprising
the bulk of a medical nanorobot, probably in
the form of diamond or diamondiod
nanocomposites.

Many other light elements such as


hydrogen, sulphur, oxygen, nitrogen,
fluorine, silicon etc., will be used for special
purposes in nanoscale gears and other
components.
MECHANISM
The attached bacteria by rotating their flagella
push the microscope to forward by using different
chemicals the on/off motions of micro robots are
controlled.

These chemicals bind to the flagella motor and


restrict their movement.

Mainly used chemicals are EDTA(Ethylene


diamine tetra acetic acid) used to restart their
motion and copper ions used to stop their motion.
WORKING OF
NANOROBOTICS
ADVANTAGES
Rapid elimination of disease
Faster and more precise diagnosis
Non-degradation of treatment agents
High operational speed
Less side effects
The major advantage of nanorobots is
their durability. Theoretically they can
remain operational for years, decades
and centuries.
DISADVANTAGES
Possible food chain
interruption
Lack of knowledge
Nano implements could adjust
human DNA structure
Environmental hazards
APPLICATIONS
In medical areas:
Kidneys
Tumors
Blood clots
Diabetes
Atherosclerosis
Parasite removal
In spaceships
