Nanotech means that each Nanotechnology, or nanotech, is atom of a machine is a functioning structure the study and design of machines on the on its own, but when combined with other molecular and atomic level. To be structures, these atoms work together to considered nanotechnology, these structures fulfill a larger purpose. As nanotech must be anywhere from 1 to 100 nanometers continues to develop, consumers will see it in size. As nanotech continues to develop, being used for several different purposes. consumers will see it being used for several This technology may be used in energy different purposes. Nano robotics is the production, medicine, and electronics, as emerging technology field creating well as other commercial uses. Many machines or robots whose components are at −9 believe that this technology will also be used or close to the scale of a nanometer (10 militarily. Nanotechnology will make it meters). Another definition is a robot that possible to build more advanced weapons allows precision interactions with nanoscale and surveillance devices. While these uses objects, or can manipulate with nanoscale are not yet possible, many researchers resolution.

    applied sciences Editorial Editorial: Special Issue “Swarm Robotics” Giandomenico Spezzano Institute for High Performance Computing and Networking (ICAR), National Research Council of Italy (CNR), Via Pietro Bucci, 8-9C, 87036 Rende (CS), Italy; [email protected] Received: 1 April 2019; Accepted: 2 April 2019; Published: 9 April 2019 Swarm robotics is the study of how to coordinate large groups of relatively simple robots through the use of local rules so that a desired collective behavior emerges from their interaction. The group behavior emerging in the swarms takes its inspiration from societies of insects that can perform tasks that are beyond the capabilities of the individuals. The swarm robotics inspired from nature is a combination of swarm intelligence and robotics [1], which shows a great potential in several aspects. The activities of social insects are often based on a self-organizing process that relies on the combination of the following four basic rules: Positive feedback, negative feedback, randomness, and multiple interactions [2,3]. Collectively working robot teams can solve a problem more efficiently than a single robot while also providing robustness and flexibility to the group. The swarm robotics model is a key component of a cooperative algorithm that controls the behaviors and interactions of all individuals. In the model, the robots in the swarm should have some basic functions, such as sensing, communicating, motioning, and satisfy the following properties: 1. Autonomy—individuals that create the swarm-robotic system are autonomous robots. They are independent and can interact with each other and the environment. 2. Large number—they are in large number so they can cooperate with each other.

Estimation of the blood velocity for nanorobotics Matthieu Fruchard, Laurent Arcese, Estelle Courtial Abstract—The paper aims at estimating the blood velocity to enhance the navigation of an aggregate in the human vascu- lature. The considered system is a polymer binded aggregate of ferromagnetic nanorobots immersed in a blood vessel. The drag force depends on the blood velocity and specially acts on the aggregate dynamics. In the design of advanced control laws, the blood velocity is usually assumed to be known or set to a constant mean value to achieve the control objectives. We provide theoretical tools to on-line estimate the blood velocity from the sole measurement of the aggregate position and combine the state estimator with a backstepping control law.

  • A Survey on Nanorobotics Technology
    Pratik Rajan Bhore / International Journal of Computer Science & Engineering Technology (IJCSET) A Survey on Nanorobotics Technology Pratik Rajan Bhore Department of Computer Engineering Bharati Vidyapeeth University College of Engineering, Pune, India [email protected] Abstract— Nanorobotics is an upcoming technology field of creating robots whose components are at or close to the microscopic scale of a nanometer. To be more precise, Nanorobotics is the nanotechnology technique of building and forming designs of nanorobots. These robots range in size from 0.1-10 mm and get built in nanoscale (molecular component). The names nanorobots, Nanobots, nanoids, nanites, nanomachines or Nano-mites have also been used to describe these devices currently under research and development. Nanorobots get widely employed in the research & development (R & D) phases, but some first molecular robots get tested. In an example, a sensor having switch approx 1.5 nanometers across is capable of counting specific molecules in a chemical sample. The most useful applications of Nanobots are said to be in medical technology, which is used to identify and destroy cancer cells. The other potential example is the detection of toxic chemicals, and the measurement of their concentrations, in today’s environment. The size of the Nanorobots is microscopic to be exact. Hence it is necessary for a large number of nanorobots to perform the microscopic and macroscopic tasks correctly together. These nanorobots move into large numbers i.e. swarms, both those incapable of carrying the replication and those capable of unconstrained reproduction in the natural environment. Keywords--- Nanorobotics, Robotics, Nanobots, Nanorobots, Nanotechnology, Nanomedicine I. INTRODUCTION Nanorobotics is an upcoming frontier, a realm in which robots operate at scales of billionths of a meter [1].

  • Future Technology Trends
    OECD Science, Technology and Innovation Outlook 2016 © OECD 2016 Chapter 2 Future technology trends Technological change is set to have profound impacts over the next 10-15 years, widely disrupting economies and societies. As the world faces multiple challenges, including ageing, climate change, and natural resource depletion, technology will be called upon to contribute new or better solutions to emerging problems. These socio- ecological demands will shape the future dynamics of technological change, as will developments in science and technology. This chapter discusses ten key or emerging technologies that are among the most promising and potentially most disruptive and that carry significant risks. The choice of technologies is based on the findings of a few major foresight exercises carried out in recent years. The ten technologies are as follows: the Internet of Things; big data analytics; artificial intelligence; neurotechnologies; nano/microsatellites; nanomaterials; additive manufacturing; advanced energy storage technologies; synthetic biology; and blockchain. The chapter describes each technology in turn, highlighting some of its possible socioeconomic impacts and exploring related policy issues. A final section highlights some common themes across the ten technologies. 77 2. FUTURE TECHNOLOGY TRENDS Introduction Technological change is a significant megatrend in its own right, constantly reshaping economies and societies, often in radical ways. The scope of technology – in terms of its form, knowledge bases and application areas – is extremely broad and varied, and the ways it interacts with economies and societies are complex and co-evolutionary. These conditions create significant uncertainty about the future directions and impacts of technological change, but also offer opportunities for firms, industries, governments and citizens to shape technology development and adoption.
