“…Triptycyl and amide ring systems have been shown to observe a coordinated gear-like rotation (213)(214)(215)(216)(217). "Molecular turnstiles," which are rotating plates inside a macrocycle, have been created (218,219). However, such rotations are not controllable.…”

Molecular machines are tiny energy conversion devices on the molecular-size scale. Whether naturally occurring or synthetic, these machines are generally more efficient than their macroscale counterparts. They have their own mechanochemistry, dynamics, workspace, and usability and are composed of nature's building blocks: namely proteins, DNA, and other compounds, built atom by atom. With modern scientific capabilities it has become possible to create synthetic molecular devices and interface them with each other. Countless such machines exist in nature, and it is possible to build artificial ones by mimicking nature. Here we review some of the known molecular machines, their structures, features, and characteristics. We also look at certain devices in their early development stages, as well as their future applications and challenges.

“…This can realize coherent collective precession of molecular rotors with chiral propellers (Kinbara & Aida, 2005;Tabe & Yokoyama, 2003). Similarly, it would be interesting to control a molecular motor in a cage, which is a model of molecular gyroscope (Bedard & Moore, 1995;Dominguez et al, 2002;Setaka et al, 2007). Another interesting subject is to apply control procedures described in this chapter to bio-systems with a micrometer dimension.…”

“…The supermolecule is a rotaxane comprising a molecular ring threaded on an axle containing two 'docking points'. Nanoturnstile [68] Macrobicycle 1-3 have been prepared by palladiumcatalyzed macrocyclization. The planar geometry of this system is such that the para axis of the inner ring exactly matches the inner diameter of the macrocycle.…”

Abstract:Nanorobotics is the technology of creating machines or robots of the size of few hundred nanometres and below consisting of components of nanoscale or molecular size. There is an all around development in nanotechnology towards realization of nanorobots in the last two decades. In the present work, the compilation of advancement in nanotechnology in context to nanorobots is done. The challenges and issues in movement of a nanorobot and innovations present in nature to overcome the difficulties in moving at nano-size regimes are discussed. The efficiency aspect in context to artificial nanorobot is also presented.
