More specifically, nanorobotics refers to the still largely hypothetical Since nanorobots would be microscopic in nanotechnology engineering discipline of size, it would probably be necessary for very designing and building nanorobots, devices large numbers of them to work together to ranging in size from 0.1-10 micrometers and perform microscopic and macroscopic tasks. constructed of nanoscale or molecular These nanorobot swarms, both those which components. As no artificial non-biological are incapable of replication (as in utility fog) nanorobots have yet been created, they and those which are capable of remain a hypothetical concept. The names unconstrained replication in the natural nanobots, nanoids, nanites or nanomites also environment (as in grey goo and its less have been used to describe these common variants), are found in many hypothetical devices. science fiction stories, such as the Borg nanoprobes in Star Trek. The word KEY WORDS "nanobot" (also "nanite", "nanogene", or Nanorobot, approaches and Applications "nanoant") is often used to indicate this fictional context and is an informal or even INTRODUCTION pejorative term to refer to the engineering concept of nanorobots. The word nanorobot There are pressing needs in biological is the correct technical term in the research today: the cost of getting new drugs nonfictional context of serious engineering to market is estimated to be 1$ billion by studies. 2015, time to market has increased and failure rates remain shockingly high. 38 | P a g e www.ijltemas .in Volume II, Issue IV, APRIL 2013 IJLTEMAS ISSN 2278 - 2540 APPROACHES electromagnetic fields are normally applied _ Biochip to control the motion of this kind of The joint use of nanoelectronics, biological integrated device, although his photolithography, and new biomaterials, can limited applications. be considered as a possible way to enable the required manufacturing technology Open Technology towards nanorobots for common medical A document with a proposal on nanobiotech applications, such as for surgical Development using open technology instrumentation, diagnosis and drug approaches has been addressed to the United delivery. Indeed, this feasible approach Nations General Assembly. According to the towards manufacturing on nanotechnology document sent to UN, in the same way is a practice currently in use from the Linux and Open Source has in recent years electronics industry.[4] So, practical accelerated the development of computer nanorobots should be integrated as systems, a similar approach should benefit nanoelectronics devices, which will allow the society at large and accelerate tele-operation and advanced capabilities for nanorobotics development.

Nubots are synthetic robotics based on ethical practices for peaceful devices at the nanoscale. Representative purposes. Open technology is stated as a nubots include the several DNA walkers fundamental key for such aim. reported by Ned Seeman's group at NYU, Niles Pierce's group at Caltech, John Reif's POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS group at Duke University, Chengde Mao's group at Purdue, and Andrew Turberfield's _ NANOROBOTICS IN DENTISTRY group at the University of Oxford. The growing interest in the future of dental applications of nanotechnology is leading to _ Positional nanoassembly the emergence of a new field called Nanofactory Collaboration[6], founded by Nanodentistry.

Such nanorobots intended for appearance. Upper enamel layers are use in medicine should be non-replicating, replaced by covalently bonded artificial as replication would needlessly increase material such as sapphire. This material has device complexity, reduce reliability, and 100 to 200 times the hardness and failure interfere with the medical mission. Instead, strength than ceramic.

Some of refractive index of 1.503, it has superior these discussions remain at the level of hardness, modulous of elasticity, unbuildable generality and do not approach translucency, esthetic appeal, excellent color the level of detailed engineering. density, high polish and 50% reduction in filling shrinkage. They are superior to conventional composites and blend with a natural tooth structure much better. Nano Impression Impression material is available with nanotechnology application. Nanofiller are integrated in the vinylpolysiloxanes, producing a unique addition siloxane impression material. The main advantage of material is it has better flow, improved hydrophilic properties hence fewer voids at margin and better model pouring, enhanced detail precision. _ NANOMEDICINE Potential applications for nanorobotics in 40 | P a g e www.ijltemas .in Volume II, Issue IV, APRIL 2013 IJLTEMAS ISSN 2278 - 2540 NANOROBOTS IN CANCER Individual units require only a tiny DETECTION AND TREATMENT amount of energy to operate Durability is another potential asset Nanites might last for centuries before breaking down DISADVANTAGES ·The initial design cost is very high. ·The design of the nanorobot is a very complicated one. ·Electrical systems can create stray fields which may activate bioelectric-based molecular recognition systems in biology. ·Electrical nanorobots are susceptible to Cancer can be successfully treated with electrical interference from external sources current stages of medical technologies and such as rf or electric fields, EMP pulses, and therapy tools.
