KN NanoRobots a revolution in Biotechnology ABSTRACT ABOUT THE NANO ROBOTS Nanorobots are theoretical microscopic devices measured on the

scale of nanometers(1 nm equals one millionth of a millimeter). When fully realized from the hypotheticalstage, they would work at the atomic, molecular and cellular level to perform tasks in boththe medical and industrial fields that have heretofore been the stuff of science fiction. These nanorobots are planned to use inside the human body, in the medical fields.These nanorobots can be used to cure many diseases with negligible harm to the body.These nano robots are very sensitive to the acoustic signals. Therefore these nano robotscan be programmed using the sound waves, to perform the specified task. To do all these things inside the body, the nanorobots can get the energy from thebody itself. (In the form of heat produced inside the body orglucose orsugars which arepresent in the body itself). These nano robots identify the particular harmful cells and try to quarantine it. If not possible to quarantine, it may destroy the harmful cell itself INTRODUCTION TO THE NANO ROBOTS Here in this project we explain the way of curing diseases like cancer or to destroythe harmful cells in the body. And also how the scientists are going to manufacture thesespecial kinds of nanorobots? Basic nanomachines are already in use. Nanobots will be the next generation ofnanomachines. Advanced nanobots will be able to sense and adapt to environmentalstimuli such as heat, light, sounds, surface textures, and chemicals; perform complexcalculations; move, communicate, and work together; conduct molecular assembly; and, tosome extent, repair or even replicate themselves. Nanotechnology is the science and application of creating objects on a level smallerthan 100 nanometers. Nanotechnology spans and merges disciplines dealing with matter atthe micro level (physics, chemistry, and biology) with those dealing with matter at themacro level (engineering, materials science and computer science).

A few generations from now someone diagnosed with cancer might be offered a new alternative to chemotherapy ( the traditional treatment of radiation that kills not just cancer cells but healthy human cells as well, causing hair loss, fatigue, nausea, depression, and a host of other symptoms ). A doctor practicing nanomedicine would offer the patient an injection of a special type of nanorobot that would seek out cancer cells and destroy them, dispelling the disease at the source, leaving healthy cells untouched. A person undergoing a nanorobotictreatment could expect to have no awareness of the molecular devices working insidethem, other than rapid betterment of their health. Nanorobots are poised to bring the next revolution in technology and medicine,replacing the cumbersome and toxic Industrial Age and opening humankind up toincredible possibilities

BACKGROUND &HISTORY OF THE NANOROBOTS Nanotech is a budding field, and it is unclear if it will pan out. The promise ofatomic-sized "machines" and "nanobots," however, is high. Will these technologies yieldsuper-materials or lead to great strides in medical science: time will tell. So if nano robots are invented, then we can easily use the nanorobots to cure the diseases in the body. Instead of this as usual if we use the Chemotherapy method, in which to destroy the cancer cells or to quarantine other cells, exposure of man to the direct radiations can injure the genetic cells in the body & also it can kill the healthy human cells as well, causing hair loss, fatigue, nausea, depression, and a host of other symptoms. It means the chemotherapy treatment can affect the body health. & also weakens the

body strength. SMART DUST: Smartdust is a term used to describe groups of very small robots which may beused for monitoring and detection. Currently, the scale of smartdust is rather small; withsingle sensors the size of a deck of playing cards, but the hope is to eventually have robotsas small as a speck of dust. Individual sensors of smartdust are often referred to as motesbecause of their small size. These devices are also known as MEMS, which stands for microelectromechanical sensors . Energy use is a major area of research in the field of smartdust. With devices sosmall, batteries present a massive addition of weight. It is therefore important to useabsolutely minimal amounts of energy in communicating the data they collect to centralhubs where it can be accessed by humans. Development of smartdust continues at a breakneck speed, and it will no doubtsoon be commonplace to have a vast army of thousands or millions of nearly invisiblesensors monitoring our environment to ensure our safety and the efficiency of themachines around us APPLICATIONS & ADVANTAGES OF THE NANO ROBOTS The Nano Technology Nano Robots have so many feature th similarly there is also a possibility of risks & dangerous or disadvantages may also betheir. But according to the inventions that now are going on, the advantages from thesenano robots are very-very high as compare to that of disadvantages. IN ELECTRONICS: Not only these types of nanorobots are useful in the Biotechnology, but also they can be used in many fields such as in electronics fields also (In nano circuits) etc., Nanotechnology has numerous energy-related applications. Nanophotonics is the application of nanotechnology to the transformation of electricity to light or light to electricity .In this area, nanocrystals or nanophosphores can make this transformation

with greater efficiency than traditional incandescent lighting or solar panels.Usingnanoceramic material as the covering for batteries absorbs electromagnetic waves andprolongs battery life.Nanopolymers provide high-performance insulation for energytransmission lines and decrease energy loss across long distances. IN SPORTS: Nanotechnology is already being used for several sports and recreation relatedapplications.For example, nanotech tennis rackets and golf clubs are lighter, stronger, andcan be engineered to provide more motion control.Nanotech coatings on swim suits repelwater, reduce friction with the water, and allow swimmers to go faster. IN TELECOMMUNICATION: In the telecommunications industry, nanotechnology will play an important role inthe coming years particularly with respect to fiber optics.Nanocrystalline materials canbe made with finer resolution than standard fibers for enhanced optic cables, switches,lenses and junctions.In telecommunications more generally, the fields of nanotechnologyand holotechnology will overlap in the design of the projection screens and user interfaces.

KNEW-2006, NanoRobots a revolution in Biotechnology -7IN BIOTECHNOLOGICAL FIELD: Many human illnesses and injuries have their origins in nanoscale processes.Accordingly, application of nanotechnology to the practice of medicine and biomedicalresearch opens up new opportunities to treat illnesses, repair injuries, and enhance humanfunctioning beyond what is possible with macroscale techniques.At the nanoscale level,the distinctions between mechanical and biological processes blur.Nanoparticles canattach to certain cells or tissues and provide medical images of their location and structure.Hollow nanocapsules with pharmaceutical contents can attach to cancer cells and releasetheir payloads into themmaximizing targeted delivery and minimizing systemic sideeffects.Nanomedibots may repair vital tissue damaged by

injury or disease, or destroycancerous tissue that has gone away, without invasive surgery. Nanopharmacology is the application of nanotechnology to the discovery of newmolecular entities with pharmacological properties.Nanotechnology is also useful forindividualized matching of pharmaceuticals to particular people to maximize effectivenessand minimize side effects.It is also used for delivery of pharmaceuticals to targetedlocations or specific types of tissue in the body. There are promising applications of nanotechnology in the field of orthopedics.Grafts of natural bone can carry disease or trigger immune rejection by the host.If onesterilizes the bone to reduce the chances of disease, then this can weaken the bone.Artificial bone cement without nanotechnology can work for small applications, but tendsto not have sufficient strength for load-bearing bone replacement.However, artificialbone paste made with nanoceramic particles shows considerable promise for bone repairand replacement, even in load-bearing applications. In addition to delivering pharmaceuticals as discussed above, nanotech medicalrobots ("nanomedibots") may be able to: monitor body function; repair damaged tissue atthe molecular level; deconstruct pathologic or abnormal material or cells such as cancer orplaque; and enhance human health and functioning. Although nanomedibots have not beendeveloped, there are on going advances in nanofluidics and carbon nanotube flow sensorsthat may become their building blocks.As nanotechnology and biotechnology advance,nanomedibots and engineered beneficial microorganisms may be integrated Applications of these sensors are seemingly without end. Every aspect of life oneexamines opens up new avenues for smartdust. Smartdust (A group of very small robots)may eventually be used to monitor traffic and better direct it, to accompany soldiers andalert them to any poisons or dangerous biological substances in the air, to follow peoplearound and track their activities, to track defects in products as they come off of anassembly line, and even to enter human bodies and check for physiological problems.
