    INTRODUCTION
    NANOTECHNOLOGY ROBOTICS

    ⬜ A nanometer is billionth of a meter ⬜ Robots are programmable machines


    ie;about 1/80000th of the diameter of They range from small miniature
    human hair,10 times the diameter of machines to large crane size
    the hydrogen atom. constructions.
    ⬜ If we blow a tennis ball to the size of ⬜ It deals with design ,construction ,
    the earth,the atoms of the tennis ball operation and application of robots
    will be about the size of grapes. and computer systems for their
    ⬜ If we measure the width of ten atoms control , sensory feedback and
    placed side by side ,we would have a information processing.
    nanometer ⬜ Today , robotics is rapidly growing
    ⬜ All the technology which deals in field, as we continue to research ,
    nanometer is called design , and build new robots that
    serve various practical purpose.
    nanotechnology
    NANOROBOTICS
    Nanorobotics is the programmable assembly of nm
    scale components either by manipulation with
    macro or micro devices ,or by directed self
    assembly.
    Design and fabrication of nanorobots typically
    ranging in size from 0.1-10 micrometers.
    Programming and coordination of large number
    of(swarms)of such nanobots.
    The main element used will be carbon in the form of
    diamond /fullerene nanocomposites because of
    the strength and chemical inertness of these
    forms.

    ADRIANO CAVALCANTI:
    pioneer of nanorobotics
    INTRODUCTION TO
    NANOROBOTS
    ⬜ Nanorobots are the controllable devices measured
    on the scale of nanometers to perform the tasks in
    both medical and industrial fields.
    ⬜ Technique like Atomic force microscopy are being
    employed to establish a visual interface & to
    enable us to sense molecular structure of these
    nano scaled devices.
    ⬜ They are made of Carbon atoms in a diamond
    structure & light elements such as
    hydrogen,oxygen,nitrogen,silicon,etc;
    ⬜ They are so tiny and have super smooth surface.
    ⬜ The nanofactories would use nanoscale tools
    capable of constructing nonorobots with exact
    specifications.
    STRUCTURE OF NANOROBOTS
    ⬜ It has a wide range of sensors to
    navigate through human body
    and fast molecular identification.
    ⬜ It may have powerful transport
    subsystem to deliver molecular
    systems.
    ⬜ Wide range of computer guided
    nano manipulator also required.
    ⬜ It may have broadcasting system
    which can connect to other
    nanorobots and macro
    computers.

    ⬜ MOLECULAR SORTING ROTOR:


    Made up of carbon nanotubes.
    Nanotube with nanogears used for
    changing the direction of
    movement.
    ⬜ PROPELLER:
    Like that in nanorobots it is used to
    drive forward against the blood
    stream
    ⬜ FINS; Fitted
    along with the propellers used to
    propel the device.
    ⬜ SENSORS;
    Fitted externally and internally with
    the nanorobots to receive the signal
    movement direction
    APPLICATIONS

    •NANOROBOTS INTO HUMAN BODY


    • The nanorobots gets access into the body through a large diameter artery so that it
    may be without being too destructive in the first place. The microscopic machines
    roaming through the bloodstream take samples for identification and determining the
    concentration of different components.

    •Nanorobots in cancer treatment


    • The traditional radiation treatment not only destroys the cancer cells but the healthy
    human cells causing hair fall,fatigue,nausea,depression and many other
    symptoms,but nanorobots detects only infected cells and destroys them
    ADVANTAGES AND RISKS
    ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
    TODAY AND
    TOMORROW
    CONCLUSION
    ⬜ Risks are among the inevitable negative factors
    that accompany the positive benefits of new
    technology .The human race cannot move
    forward if we become afraid of the
    consequence.
    ⬜ Hopefully,the positive benefits will outweigh
    risks and negative side effects,as nanorobotics
    use the results of their research to develop
    scientific procedures that mitigate risks and
    minimize negative effects.
