INTRODUCTION

Robots• Machine which does the particular work.• Combination of mechanical & electronics

engineering

Nano ?• What is Nano?? Basically Nano means (10-9) .• In Nano - technology, the size is reduced by 109

times.

What Is Nano Robots ?

• Advancement in nanotechnology. • Machines or robots at or close to the

microscopic scale of nano metres.

• Emerging applications- medicine and technology.

Functionalities.

• Swarm Intelligence.• Cooperative behavior.• Self assembly and replication.• Nano Information processing and

programmability.• Nano to macro world interface architecture.

Design & Control.

• It consists of • Molecular sorting rotors.• Propellers.• Fins.• Sensors.

Control

Applications

• Medical Areas Tumors Kidney stones Blood clots Arteriosclerosis Surgerys• In Space Ships

Tumour • Tumour-recognition module is installed in

nano-robot.• Activate a measurable signal .• Target and deliver the drug into tumour

tissue.

Kidney Stones

• Break up a kidney stones using a small laser.• Crushed and pass out through urine.

Blood Clots.• Break up such clots into smaller pieces.

Arteriosclerosis • caused by fatty deposits on the walls of

arteries

Surgerys

• Through the vascular system & cavities.• Nano-manipulation, coordinated by an on-

board computer.• Contact via ultrasonic signals.

Space ships

• Improve the performance of spaceships.• Protects the astronauts by including layers of

bio nano robots in their spacesuits.

Pros

• Speed up of Medical Treatment.• Faster and More Precise Diagnosis.• Verification of Progress and Treatment.• Minimum side effects.

Cons

• Should be very accurate.• The initial design cost is very high.• The design of this nano-robot is a very

complicated one.

Conclusion

• Nanotechnology gives the hope of the effective use of this technology in medical field.

• This is the beginning of nanoera and we could expect further improvements such as a medicine to AIDS.
