A review of research in the field of nanorobotics.

Abstract

This report highlights the findings of an extensive review of the literature in the area of nanorobotics. The main goal of this midyear LDRD effort is to survey and identify accomplishments and advancements that have been made in this relatively new and emerging field. As a result, it may be determined what routes in the area of nanorobotics are scientifically plausible and technically useful so that the Intelligent Systems and Robotics Center can position itself to play a role in the future development of nanotechnology. 4This page intentionally left blank 5

Nanotehnologija - perspektive i moguće opasnosti primene u vojnoj industriji

“…Poređenja radi, ljudska vlas široka je oko 80.000 nm, crveno krvno zrnce 7.000, virusi 25, a DNK oko 2 nm, dok je dimenzija atoma vodonika 0,1 nm, odnosno deset atoma vodonika jedan do drugoga imaju veličinu od 1 nm. 2 Zbog svojih specifičnih osobina i neograničenih mogućnosti, nanotehnologija je veoma brzo našla svoje mesto i u vojnoj industriji. Ulaganjem velikih finansijskih sredstava u ovu tehnologiju, uticaće da dođe do promene u načinu upotrebe oružane sile na bojnom polju XXI veka.…”

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH IN WHOLE BRAIN EMULATION: THE NEED FOR INNOVATIVEIN VIVOMEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES

“…The arti¯cial network can store and process information and becomes an access interface to characteristic component functions at the scale and resolution needed for WBE. While cruder than envisioned nanoscopic technology [Sierra et al, 2005], the methods have similar potential and the core integrated circuit technology is familiar and exists now [Bohr and Mistry, 2011].…”

Medical Nanorobot Architecture Based on Nanobioelectronics

“…The advent of biomolecular science and new manufacturing techniques is helping to advance the miniaturization of devices from micro to nanoelectronics. A first series of nanotechnology prototypes for molecular machines are being investigated in different ways [2][3][4][5], and some interesting device propulsion and sensing approaches have been presented [6][7][8]. More complex molecular machines, or nanorobots, having embedded nanoscopic features may provide new tools for medical procedures [1,2,9].…”
