Nanorobots-Medicine of the Future

National symposium on Genomics,Protiomics and Bioinformatics 9th & 10th Feb,2007(Organised by :- Department of Biotechnology. Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Sub-Center, Osmanbad. Maharashtra)India.

Nanorobotics is the technology of creating machines or robots at or close is a scale a nanometere. More specificall, nanorbots. Nanorobotics(nanobots or nanoids) are typically devices ranging in size from 0.1-10 micrometres and constructed of nanoscale or molecular components. As no artificial non-biological nanorobots have so far been created, they remain a hypothetical concept at this time.

Medical nanotechnology is often expected to utilize nanorobots injected into the patient to perform their treatment on a cellular level. Such nanorobots intended for use in medicine also might not replicate, as this would needlessly increase device complexity, reduce reliability, and interfere with the medical mission Instead this new machine-phase matter would exhibited the molecular movement seen today in liquids & gases as well as the mechanical strength typically associated with solids.
