Issac Asimov first coined the terms robotics in 1938 in the short story runaround for super science

stories magazine, followed by a collection of short stories describing robots coming into conflict with their human masters. Asimov used the term robotics to describe 3 laws governing robot behavior.

Laws: A robot may not injure a human being or through inaction allow a human to come to harm. A robot must obey orders given it by human except when doing so conflicts first law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as this does not conflict or second law.

Today man is forced to compete against machines. This develops stress and the human body is subjected to various levels of trauma. Nowadays many diseases become so common and the affected rate increases till date. Main reasons for this would be improper diet, tension and excess of Cholesterol, change in the life style, food habbit, working way and unawareness of the deadly diseases which they are going to face. Present day treatment for such diseases includes surgeries which are considered outdated when Compared to todays technology. Let here discuss about the new way of treatments by robots in many field of medicine. This paper focuses on the employment of nanorobots for removing the certain difficulty in a more effective and accurate manner.

Nanorobots are special purpose robots especially designed and produced for the treatment of various diseases and malfunctions in the body through operations. This treatment is no way tedious but proves effectiveness and precision!! Nanorobots are designed using the emerging science of Nanotechnology, the science of nanomaterials (10 -9). By having these Robots, we can refine the treatment of diseases by using biomedical, nanotechnological engineering. Nanorobots are theoretical microscopic devices measured on the scale of nanometers (1 nm equals one millionth of a millimeter).

The picture we have modeled is a basic design of a nanorobot, with all its special parts, each performing the unique functions. There are six main parts in the robotic design. They are 1. Grippers 2. Sensors 3. Fragile 4. Empty cavity 5. Sprayer 6. Telescopic camera.

The nano robot would have a small computer, several binding sites to determine the concentration of specific molecules, and a supply of some poison which could be selectively released and was able to kill a affected cell identified as cancerous. The main thing in this operation is to way the nanorobot in all directions inside the body. For the scanning of the cells it is enough to rotate the stepper motor attached with tiny microscope.

Robotic surgery relies on the principles of laparoscopic urologic surgery and offers patients an option to traditional surgery. This remarkable technology allows surgeons to operate in an entirely new way. The addition of the robotic surgical system allows significant improvement in surgical precision beyond the limits of the human hand. The da Vinci Surgical System is the only commercially available technology that can provide the surgeon with the intuitive control, range of motion, fine tissue manipulation capability, and 3-D visualization characteristic of open surgery, while simultaneously allowing the surgeon to work through small ports of minimally invasive surgery.

The nanorobots can be implemented in many fields in medicine. Here come the three main fields, 1.Treatment of cancer ` 2.As heart surgeons 3.Fast relievers

Cancer is a deadly disease which produces malignant or timorous tissues in the body which keeps growing leading to fatal death in the later time. Though cancer was once been told that it is a non curable disease, the Nanorobots play the major role in its treatment and have become the boon of Medicinal field!! The main advantage of using nanorobots are that they are action-specific in nature, that is, during the operation, it cures only the affected area, leaving the healthier tissues unaffected! This main property has made Nanorobots to be the only approach to cure Cancer.

Cholesterols are biochemical compound which are carried by lipoproteins found in blood and are essential for the normal functioning of the body to a certain extent These sensitive robots are able to perform higher with reduced time @ Nanorobots with nanosensors to locate the block. These Robots will need four kinds of nanosensors,

1.Pressure sensors 2.Acoustic sensors 3.Chemo sensors 4.Smart sensors

In order to prevent the recurrence of the block, molecular synthesis is carried out. I.e. Nano robot fills the burnt gaps with fresh flawless cells Synthesized by the robots themselves. This process is known as molecular synthesis. Sensor robot that navigates other robots through the bloodstream: 1.All the three types of nanorobots needed for the process, are suspended in a liquid matrix and injected into blood vessels of the patient.

2. Acoustic sensors in sensor robots get activated soon and begin navigating the army of robots through the blood stream to the pericardium. 3. Simultaneously, the smart sensors present in the sensor robots,get activated and form a closed ad-hoc network connecting all the robots. 4.This is very essential in order to guide all the nanorobots to the desired location.

The da Vinci Surgical System enables surgeons to perform three types of robotic nephrectomies (partial, simple, radical). A robotic partial nephrectomy is a procedure to remove a small tumor from the kidney, without removing the entire kidney. A robotic simple nephrectomy is the total removal of a kidney when it becomes a chronic problem or loses its function. A robotic radical nephrectomy is the removal of the kidney with all the surrounding fat, fascia and the adrenal gland.

The process of sensing and giving up relief from the injured part of the body. Disease and ill health are caused largely by damage at the molecular and cellular level. From the viewpoint of a cell, even a fine scalpel is a blunt instrument to keep on affecting the subsiding cells. Nanorobots be used for purposes of maintaining and protecting the human body against pathogens. When we using nanorobots in our medicine, they result quick relief of their wounded region, instead of having through a week.

a.) To cure skin diseases: To cure skin diseases, a cream containing nanorobots may be used. It could remove the right amount of dead skin, remove excess oils, add missing oils, apply the right amount of natural moisturizing compounds, and even achieve goal of deep pore cleaning by actually reaching down into pores and cleaning them out. The cream could be a smart material with smooth-on, peel-off convenience.

b.) For dental system: A mouthwash full of smart nanomachines could identify and destroy pathogenic bacteria while allowing the harmless flora of the mouth to flourish in a healthy ecosystem. Further, the devices would identify particles of food, plague, or tartar, and lift them form teeth to be rinsed away. As short-lifetime medical nanodevices, they could be built to last only a few minutes in the body before falling apart into materials of the sort found in foods(Such as Fiber).

c.) Work on immune system: Medical nanodevices could argument the immune system by finding and disabling unwanted bacteria and viruses. When an invader is identified, it can be punctured, letting its contents spill out and ending its effectiveness. If the content were known to be hazardous by themselves, then the immune machine could hold on to it long enough to dismantle it more completely.
