  1. NANOROBOTS MEDICINE OF THE FUTURE Presented by POOJITHA CHINTHALA Roll no:12080026 Priyadarshini College of Pharmaceutical Sciences

  2. CONTENTS • Nanotechnology • Nanorobots • Molecular nanotechnology (MNT) • How Nanorobots Will Work • Applications • Conclusion • References

  3. What Does Nanotechnology Mean? • Nanotechnology is the engineering offunctional systems at the molecular scale. • It is the study of manipulating matter on anatomicandmolecularscale.

  4. NANOROBOTS • A nanorobot is a tiny machine designed to perform a specific task or tasks repeatedly and with precision at nanoscale dimensions, that is, dimensions of a few nanometers (nm) or less, where 1 nm = 10-9 meter • They are nanodevices that will be used for the purpose of maintaining and protecting the human body against pathogens.

  5. Molecular Nanotechnology (MNT) • MNT describes engineered nanosystems (nanoscale machines) operating on the molecular scale. • MNT is especially associated with themolecular assembler, a machine that can produce a desired structure. • MNT IS based on the ability to build structures to complex, atomic specifications by means ofmechanosynthesis. The umbrella science of nanomedicine

  6. Related wise GEEK articles • What is a Chromallocyte? • What is a Respirocyte ? • What are the Risks of Nanoscience? • What are the Potential Benefits of MNT (Molecular Nanotechnology)? • What are the Potential Dangers of Molecular Nanotechnology ?

  7. What is chromallocyte? • A chromallocyte is a lozenge-shaped mobile nanorobot, consisting of about four trillion atoms.

  8. Chromallocyte in Chromosome Replacement Therapy

  9. What is Respirocyte? • A respirocyte is an engineering design for a machine that cannot be built with current technology: an artificial red blood cell a micron in diameter .

  10. Respirocytes in the bloodstream

  11. What are the risks of Nano science • Uncontrolled nanomachines • Nanoweaponery

  12. What is the potential Benefits of MNT? • Molecular nanotechnology (MNT) is a breakthrough science that combines principles of chemistry, biology and physics to propose microscopic devices on the nano-scale that would mechano chemically manipulate individual atoms and molecules for the purpose of constructing materials, eradicating disease, and restoring the environment; thus making the potential benefits of MNT wide-ranging and revolutionary.

  13. To Name just a few potential benefits of MNT • ABUNDANT CLEAN ENERGY • ENERGYERADICATING DISEASE AND EXTENDING LIFE • HEALING THE ENVIRONMENT • SMART MATERIALS AND GREEN MANUFACTURING • HELPING THIRD WORLD NATIONS • COMPUTER MINIATURIZATION AND AI • SPACE COLONIZATION

  14. What are the potential dangers of MNT? • NANOWEAPONRY: THE NEWARMS RACE • ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND EXISTENTIAL DANGERS • ECONOMIC IMPACT • DANGERS OF REGULATION • UBIQUITOUS SURVEILLANCE • ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) AND ROBOTICS

  15. Powering of nanorobots • The powering of the nanorobots can be done by metabolizing local glucose and oxygen for energy. In a clinical environment, another option would be externally supplied acoustic energy. • Other sources of energy within the body can also be used to supply the necessary energy for the devices. • They will have simple onboard computers capable of performing around 1000 or fewer computations per second. This is because their computing needs are simple. • Communication with the device can be achieved by broadcast-type acoustic signaling

  16. What are the potential dangers of MNT? • NANOWEAPONRY: THE NEWARMS RACE • ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND EXISTENTIAL DANGERS • ECONOMIC IMPACT • DANGERS OF REGULATION • UBIQUITOUS SURVEILLANCE • ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) AND ROBOTICS

  17. How Nanorobots Will Work The robot in this illustration swims through the arteries and veins using a pair of tail appendages.

  18. Powering of nanorobots • The powering of the nanorobots can be done by metabolizing local glucose and oxygen for energy. In a clinical environment, another option would be externally supplied acoustic energy. • Other sources of energy within the body can also be used to supply the necessary energy for the devices. • They will have simple onboard computers capable of performing around 1000 or fewer computations per second. This is because their computing needs are simple. • Communication with the device can be achieved by broadcast-type acoustic signaling.

  19. Nanorobot Locomotion • Designers sometimes look at microscopic organisms for propulsion inspiration, like the Nanorobot flagellum on this e-coli cell.

  20. Take two bots and call me in the morning • Breaking up blood clots • Fighting cancer • Parasite Removal • Gout • Cleaning wounds

  21. Teeny, Tiny Tools:Nanorobot tools will have to be small enough to manipulate cells like these red blood cells.

  22. FIELDS OF APPLICATION

  23. A mouthwash full of smart nanomachines

  24. Treating arteriosclerosis • Devices working in the bloodstream could nibble away at arteriosclerotic deposits, widening the affected blood vessels. • Cell herding devices could restore artery walls and artery linings to health, by ensuring that the right cells and supporting structures are in the right places. • This would prevent most heart attacks.

  26. Medical nanodevices could augment the immune system by finding and disabling unwanted bacteria and viruses.

  27. Nanotechnology may lead to advanced cancer treatments

  28. Few potential applications • FIBRE OPTICS TECHNOLOGY: Utilized in endoscopic medicine.Fiber optic instruments are introduced into the body cavity through a tiny hole made on the body to either to investigate or treat and ailments. • LASER TECHNOLOGY: Laser technology is utilized in cataract surgery and removal gall bladder stones. • TELEMEDICINE: With these facility doctors in remote areas can benefit from the expertise of the specialist urban centers. • SOUND WAVES: Utilized in investigative and therapeutic ultrasonography. • NUCLEAR RADIATION: Utilized in the treatment of cancer and in investigations like x-ray.

  29. All of these current developments in technology directs humans a step closer to nanorobots and simple, operating nanorobots is the near future. Nanorobots can theoretically destroy all common diseases of the 2lst century thereby ending much of the pain and suffering. It can also have an alternative, practical uses such as improved mouthwash and cosmetic creams that can expand the commercial market in biomedical engineering. People can envision a future where people can self-diagnose their ‘own ailments with the help of nanorobot monitors in their bloodstream. Simple everyday illnesses can be cured without ever visiting the physician. Conclusion
