Nanorobotics by Alexey Pechorin
Scale • Atomic radius – 10-10 m = 1 Angstrom • 1 nanometre = 10 Angstrom • Cell size – 1-100micrometres– 10-6 m=1000nm • Nanorobots – components – scale of 1nm • Nanorobots - 0.1–10 micrometers Atom Boy
Scanning tunneling microscope • Based on quantum tunneling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_tunneling_microscope#Procedure
Nanorobotics purpose • Medicine: • Targeted drug delivery • Pharmacokinetics • Early diagnosis • Surgery • Tissue repair and maintenance • Environmental control • Warfare
Development approaches • Biochip-joint use ofnanoelectronics (22nm), photolithography, and biomaterials • Nubots - nucleic acid robot • Positional nanoassembly - diamond mechanosynthesis • Bacteria-based – E.Coli • Open technology • Nanorobot Race
Nanocar • Fullerenegroups act as wheels • Translation on gold surface by heating Nanocar
Nanomotor • Rotational motor made of a multiwalledcarbon nanotube • Other possibilities for nanomotors – light/chemically driven
Algorithmics • Flocking • Separation • Alignment • Cohesion • Neural networks • Nano-Robotics Motion Planning Flocking algorithm
Existing prototypes • Wireless control of a device in artery • Moving at speed of 10cm/s • Realtime imaging by MRI
Existing prototypes • Bacteria Propelled Micro-Robot
Existing prototypes • Magnetically Actuated Micro-Robots
