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.
Nanorobot devices
Fins Sensors Propellers Molecular
