Brief Review on Nano Robots in Bio Medical Applications

Abstract

Nano-robots are the robots that are simply known as that controllable machine at the nano (10 -9 ) meter or molecular scale, composed of nano-components. More specifically, nano robotics refers to the still largely hypothetical nanotechnology engineering discipline of designing and building nano robots. Even though the field of nano robotics is fundamentally different from that of the macro robots due to the differences in scale and material, there are many similarities in design and control techniques that eventually could be projected and applied. Due to the modern scientific capabilities, it has become possible to attempt the creation of nano robotic devices and interface them with the macro world for control. There are countless such machines which exist in nature and there is an opportunity to build more of them by mimicking nature. Nowadays these nano robots play a vital role in the field of Bio Medicine. Especially in the treatment of cancer, Cerebral Aneurysm, kidney stones removal, also to remove the defected part in our DNA structure and some other treatments that has the greatest aid to save human lives. This paper guides to the recent research on nano robots in the Bio medical applications.

A Review on Applications of Nanobots in Combating Complex Diseases

“…it is programmed to detect only the diseased cells to act upon them, the healthy cells are left aside and thus show minimum side effects. Nanobots with embedded biosensors can be used in detection of tumor cells in the early stage of development inside the patient's body (Sivasankar and Durairaj, 2012). Kumar et al (2014) has reported that, scientists have genetically modified salmonella bacteria carrying microscopic robots (3 μm) named bacteriobots, which are drawn to tumors by chemicals secreted by the cancerous cells.…”

Nanorobotics in Drug Delivery Systems for Treatment of Cancer: A Review

“…The simulation in a 3D real-time environment aims to establish a useful framework as a testbed for nanorobot foraging inside the body. One of the advances shows a hardware architecture based on Nanobioelectronics is described for the application of nanorobots for cancer therapy [90,91].…”

Nanorobotic Applications in Medicine: Current Proposals and Designs

“…The intravascular navigational ability of a nanorobot can allow localized drug delivery to reduce the amount of bleeding, as well as a localization tool as an adjunct to imaging 68 . Additionally, nanorobots can be used for the detection and direct treatment of cancer 69 . The ability of intravascular nanorobots to constantly circulate can provide constant tumor surveillance.…”
