Nanorobotics - Fouad Sabry
Chapter 1: Nanorobotics
Nanoid robotics, or abbreviated form, nanorobotics, also known as nanobots, is an emerging technology field creating machines or robots whose components are at or near the scale of a nanometer (10−9 meters).
Nanomachines are still in the research and development phase for the most part. One possible use for nanomachines is the detection and monitoring of harmful chemical concentrations in the environment. A single-molecule vehicle that uses Buckminsterfullerenes (also known as buckyballs) for its wheels has been shown by researchers at Rice University. The vehicle was created via a chemical technique. It is activated by regulating the temperature of the surrounding environment and by adjusting the location of the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope.
A further definition of a nanorobot is a robot that is capable of precise manipulation of nanoscale items or that can interact with things at the nanoscale level. These kinds of instruments are more closely associated with microscopy or scanning probe microscopy than they are with the concept of nanorobots as molecular machines. When using the definition of microscopy, even a huge piece of equipment like an atomic force microscope may be regarded a nanorobotic instrument if it is set up to do nanomanipulation. According to this point of view, robots of a larger size, such as microrobots or macrorobots, that are capable of moving with nanoscale accuracy may also be deemed nanorobots.
According to Richard Feynman, his former graduate student and colleague Albert Hibbs was the one who first proposed (sometime about 1959) the notion of putting Feynman's theoretical micro-machines to use in the medical field. Hibbs was a collaborator with Richard Feynman (see biological machine). Hibbs proposed that some repair devices may one day be shrunk down to the point where it would be feasible, in principle, to swallow the surgeon.
Feynman used a similar phrase to describe this hypothetical scenario. The concept was included in Feynman's article titled There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom
that was written in 1959.
Due to the fact that nano-robots would be of a tiny size, it is likely that a very large number of them would need to collaborate in order to complete tasks that are either microscopic or macroscopic in scale. In numerous works of science fiction, nano-robot swarms appear. These nano-robot swarms can either be unable to replicate, as in the case of utility fog, or they can replicate unconstrained in their natural environment, as in the case of grey goo and synthetic biology. Examples of these nano-robot swarms include the Borg nano-probes from Star Trek and The New Breed
from the episode of The Outer Limits. In response to the grey goo scenarios that they had previously helped to propagate, some advocates of nanorobotics now hold the view that nano-robots that are capable of replicating outside of a restricted factory environment are not a necessary component of a purportedly productive nanotechnology, and that the process of self-replication, should it ever be developed, could be made to be inherently safe. This view comes as a reaction to the grey goo scenarios that they had previously helped to propagate. They also claim that their present plans for building and using molecular manufacturing do not in reality entail free-foraging replicators. This is something that they state. Some of these conversations stay at the level of broad generalization that cannot be constructed and do not reach the level of technical
