Emerging TechnologyNanorobotics is the emerging technology field creating machines or robots whose components are at or close to the scale of a nanometer.

What is nanotechnology?

Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale.

Size?

In the International System of Units, the prefix "nano" means one-billionth.

A nanometer is on billionth of a meter.

Nanorobots

Nanorobtics is the technology of creating machines or robots at or close to the microscopic scal of a nanometer.

Nanorobots would typically be devices ranging in size from 0.1-10 micrometers.

Swarm robotics

The research of swarm robotics is to study the design of robots, their physical body and their controlling behaviors.
