1) Nanorobots could potentially be used to treat AIDS by recognizing and converting HIV-infected white blood cells back to their original form, maintaining a constant level of immune cells and allowing the patient to defend against diseases.
2) The nanorobot would use a DNA sensor to identify HIV-infected cells and an RNA converter to change the cell's RNA and reverse the HIV infection. It would be powered by metabolizing glucose and oxygen or external acoustic power.
3) Key challenges in using nanorobots for this approach include their size needing to be small enough to avoid blocking blood flow while still performing tasks, using biocompatible materials like diamond or carbon that don't trigger an immune response, and
Assuming the nanorobot is ’ nt tethered or designed to float passively through the bloodstream , it will need a means of propulsion to get around the body.
Because it may have to travel against the flow of blood , the propulsion system has to be relatively strong for its size.
Another important consideration is the safety of the patient , the system must be able to move the nanorobot around without causing damaging to the host.

BIOENGINEERED NANOROBOTICS FOR CANCER THERAPY Sivajith007
A person who is diagnosed with cancer will be offered a new alternative to chemotherapy because 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. The application of nanorobotics can be considered as the better solution to this problems. Nanorobots are nanoelectromechanical systems designed to perform a specific task with precision at nanoscale dimensions. This technique involves the development of fully functional nanorobots capable of sensing, decision making, and actuation. From a bio inspired perspective, those in nanorobotics, including core design, propulsion and power generation, sensing, actuation, control, decision making, and system integration. The core of the nanorobots is a polysaccharide based nanoparticle, sensing and actuation ensure that it is capable of sensing and recognizing the cancer cell. These nanorobots may aid in cancer therapy, site-specific drug delivery, circulating diagnostics, advanced surgery, and tissue repair. One of the major advantages of nanorobots is it will not affect healthy cells in human body. Using strategies inspired from microorganisms, potential bioengineered nanorobots can be used for cancer therapy.

Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

Abstract: Nanorobots are nanodevices that will be used for the purpose of maintaining and protecting the
human body against pathogens. Nano is one billionth of one. Nanotechnology is the technology in which the
operations are performed on nanometrics. It is the application of different technologies primarily interested in
the reduction of size. The credential part of this paper gives the theoretical application of nanodevices in the
treatment of AIDS. There is no technology for the treatment of AIDS. Some of the drugs of specific composition
are given to the patients depending on the intensity of the disease.
The drugs using nowadays are able to increase the lifetime to a few years only. To make the treatment
more specific, we use the nanodevices that use nanosensors to sense the AIDS infected WBC’s. In this we are
using Nano robots to get back the HIV infected WBC’s. By doing so constant levels of WBC’s are maintained in
the blood stream. Thus the AIDS patient is provided with the immune system so that he can defend himself from
diseases.
In this paper only a theoretical analysis is given and all the information provided are specifically
organized by us .In India more than 50 lakhs of people are infected by this dreaded disease and it constitutes
10% o the total infected.
We are doing research on this paper and we hope that this theoretical approach can be made practical
in the near future, so that the killer disease AIDS could also be made in control on the hands of Human with the
emerging new technology like Nanorobot designed to perform cell surgery
I. What Is A Medicinal Nanorobot?
Nano robots are theoretical microscopic devices measured on the scale of nanometers (1 nm equals one
millionth of a millimeter). When fully realized from the hypothetical stage, they would work at the atomic,
molecular and cellular level to perform tasks in both the Medical and industrial fields that have heretofore been
the stuff of science fiction Nanomedicine‟s Nanorobots are so tiny that they can easily traverse the human body.
Scientists report the exterior of a Nanorobot will likely be constructed of carbon atoms in a diamondoid
structure because of its inert properties and strength. Super-smooth surfaces will lessen the likelihood of
triggering the body‟s immune system, allowing the nanorobots to go about their business unimpeded.
Glucose or natural body sugars and oxygen might be a source for propulsion, and the nanorobot will have other
biochemical or molecular parts depending on its task.
1.2. Nanorobots in Nano scale
According to current theories, nanorobots will possess at least rudimentary two-way communication;
will respond to acoustic signals; and will be able to receive power or even reprogramming
Instructions from an external source via sound waves. A network of special stationary nanorobots
might be strategically positioned throughout the body, logging each active nanorobot as it passes, then reporting
those results, allowing an interface to keep track of all of the devices in the body. A doctor could not only
monitor a patient‟s progress but change the instructions of the nanorobots in vivo to progress to another stage of
healing. When the task is completed, the nanorobots would be flushed from the body.
2. Anti HIV Using Nanorobots
www.iosrjournals.org 85 | Page
1.3. Nanorobots performing operations on Blood cells:
Nanorobotic phagocytes called microbivores could patrol the bloodstream, seeking out and digesting
unwanted pathogens including bacteria, viruses or fungi. Each nanorobot could completely destroy one
pathogen in just 30 seconds - about 100 times faster than natural leukocytes or macrophages - releasing a
harmless effluent of amino acids, mononucleotides, fatty acids and sugars.
No matter that a bacterium has acquired multiple drug resistance to antibiotics or to any other
traditional treatment. The microbivore will eat it anyway, achieving complete clearance of even the most severe
septicemic infections in minutes to hours, as compared to weeks or even months for antibiotic-assisted natural
phagocytic defenses, without increasing the risk of sepsis or septic shock.
Related nanorobots could be programmed to recognize and digest cancer cells, or to clear circulatory
obstructions within minutes in order to rescue stroke patients from ischemic damage.
More sophisticated medical nanorobots will be able to intervene at the cellular level, performing
surgery within cells. Physician-controlled nanorobots could extract existing chromosomes from a diseased cell
and insert newly manufactured ones in their place, a process called chromosome replacement therapy. This
would allow a permanent cure of any pre-existing genetic disease, and permit cancerous cells to be
reprogrammed to a healthy state
II. Implementation:
ANTI - HIV USING NANOTECHNOLOGY:
2.1. AIDS:
The virus responsible for the condition known as AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), is
named HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). AIDS is the condition whereby the body's specific defense
system against all infectious agents no longer functions properly. There is a focused loss over time of immune
cell function, which allows intrusion by several different infectious agents, the result of which is loss of the
ability of the body to fight infection and the subsequent acquisition of diseases such as pneumonia.
The immune system is a system within all vertebrates (animals with a backbone) which in general terms, is
comprised of two important cell types: the B-cell and the T-cell.
Fig: Nanorobot performing operations on blood cells
The B-cell is responsible for the production of antibodies (proteins which can bind to specific molecular
shapes), and the T-cell (two types) is responsible either for helping the B-cell to make antibodies, or for the
killing of damaged or "different" cells (all foreign cells except bacteria) within the body.
Fig: Nanorobot in Nanoscale
3. Anti HIV Using Nanorobots
www.iosrjournals.org 86 | Page
The two main types of Tcells are the "helper"T-cell and the cytotoxic T-cell. The T-helper population is further
divided into those which help B-cells (Th2) and those which help cytotoxic T-cells (Th1). Therefore, in order
for a B-cell to do its job requires the biochemical help of Th2 helper T-cells; and, for a cytotoxic T-cell to be
able to eliminate a damaged cell (say, a virally-infected cell), requires the biochemical help of a Th1 helper T-
cell.
2.1.1. IMMUNESYSTEM:
Whenever any foreign substance or agent enters our body, the immune system is activated. Both B- and
T-cell members respond to the threat, which eventually results in the elimination of the substance or agent from
our bodies. If the agent is one which goes inside one of our cells and remains there most of the time
(intracellular pathogens like viruses or certain bacteria which require the inside of one of our cells in order to
live), the "best" response is the activation of cytotoxic T-cells (circulate in the bloodstream and lymph), which
eliminate the agent through killing of the cell which contains the agent
(Agent is otherwise "hidden"). Both of these kinds of responses (B-cell or cytotoxic T-cell) of course
require specific helper T-cell biochemical information as described above. Usually, both B-cell and cytotoxic T-
cell responses occur against intracellular agents which provide a two-pronged attack. Normally, these actions
are wonderfully protective of us. The effect of HIV on the immune system is the result of a gradual (usually)
elimination of the Th1 and Th2 helper T-cell sub-populations.
2.1.2. OPERATION OF HIV:
How HIV Specifically Affects the Immune System
Remember about the proteins, which are part of the envelope of HIV? Well, one of these proteins, named gp
120, (a sugar-containing protein called a glycoprotein, of approximately 120,000 molecular weight),
"recognizes" a protein on helper T-cells named CD4, and physically associates with it. The CD4 [Cluster of
Differentiation Antigen No. 4] protein is a normal part of a helper (both Th1 and Th2) T-cell's membrane.
2.1.3. Method of infection of HIV:
Thus, CD4 is a specific receptor for HIV. This virus however, can also infect other cells which include
macrophages and certain other kinds of cells which can engulf substances through a process known as
phagocytosis.
Fig: Method of infection of HIV
As a consequence of the interaction with CD4 on helper T-cells, HIV specifically infects the very cells
necessary to activate both B-cell and cytotoxic T-cell immune responses. Without helper T-cells, the body
cannot make antibodies properly, nor can infected cells containing HIV (an intracellular pathogen) be properly
eliminated. Consequently, the virus can: multiply, kill the helper T-cell in which it lives, infect adjacent helper
T-cells, repeat the cycle, and on and on, until eventually there is a substantial loss of helper T-cells.
The fight between the virus and the immune system for supremacy is continuous. Our body responds to this
onslaught through production of more T-cells, some of which mature to become helper T-cells. The virus
eventually infects these targets and eliminates them, too. More T-cells are produced; these too become infected,
and are killed by the virus. This fight may continue for up to ten years before the body eventually succumbs,
apparently because of the inability to any-longer produce Tcells.
This loss of helper T-cells finally results in the complete inability of our body to ward-off even the
weakest of organisms (all kinds of bacteria and viruses other than HIV) which are normally not ever a problem
to us. This acquired condition of immunodeficiency is called, AIDS.
2.2. METHODOLOGY:
AIDS by itself is not a killer disease. The cause of AIDS is the HIV virus that is capable of destroying
the immune system. Thereby the host system is vulnerable to small diseases which will turn into a fatal one but
4. Anti HIV Using Nanorobots
www.iosrjournals.org 87 | Page
actually it is not a fatal disease. The HIV virus attack the WBC‟s by converting them into the HIV. Thereby all
the WBC‟s are converted into HIV, so the immune system will fail. This is the reason for the death of the
patient. Our idea is to convert the AIDS affected WBC‟s back into the original form of the WBC by using a
Nanorobot, thereby the patient is made to have a constant amount of immune system. Nanorobot performs the
inverse process of the HIV.
2.2.1. CONVERSION RATE:
The HIV convert the WBC in a faster manner .So the conversion by the A-HIV Nanorobot should also
be very much faster than that of the HIV, so that a constant level of WBC‟s are maintained in the blood stream.
Because of this ,an AIDS patient can defend himself from various diseases .The conversion rate should be at
least five times greater than that of the HIV conversion rate.
2.2.2. BASIC EQUATION:
The basic equation for the conversion of the HIV infected WBC‟s back to its original form is given
below. The host system is the WBC and is converted by the HIV into an infected WBC. This is the reason for
AIDS.
2.3 CREATION OF NANO DEVICES:
The creation of the nano devices can be done using any of the two techniques that are available.
They are
· Top-down approach
· Bottom-up approach
III. Challenges Faced By Nanorobots:
While designing nonorobots in nanoscale dimensions there should be a better understanding of how
matter behaves on this small scale. Matter behaves differently on the nanoscale than it does at larger levels. So
the behavior of the nanorobots must be taken care so that they do not affect us both inside and outside the body.
Other challenges apply specifically to the use of nanostructures within biological systems.
Nanostructures can be so small that the body may clear them too rapidly for them to be effective in
detection or imaging. Larger nanoparticles may accumulate in vital organs, creating a toxicity problem. So we
need to consider these factors as they anticipate how nanostructures will behave in the human body and attempt
to create devices the body will accept.
3.1. DESIGN OF NANOROBOTS:
The nanorobots that we describe here will be floating freely inside the body exploring and detect the
HIV virus. So, while designing such a nanorobot for AIDS treatment, the main factors that are to be considered
are given below.
3.2. TECHNIQUE USED:
We use the bottom-up approach, which involves assembling structures atom-by-atom or molecule-by-
molecule which will be useful in manufacturing devices used in medicine.
3.3. SIZE:
Nanorobots will typically be .5 to 3 microns large with 1-100 nm parts. Three microns is the upper
limit of any nanorobot because nanorobots of larger size will block capillary flow.
3.4. STRUCTURE:
The nanorobot‟s structure will have two spaces that are
3.4.1. Interior:
It will be a closed, vacuum environment into which liquids from the outside cannot normally enter unless
It is needed for chemical analysis.
5. Anti HIV Using Nanorobots
www.iosrjournals.org 88 | Page
3.4.2. Exterior:
It will be subjected to various chemical liquids in our bodies.
3.5. CHEMICAL ELEMENTS:
Carbon will likely be the principal element comprising the bulk of a medical nanorobot, probably in the
form of diamond or diamondoid/fullerene nanocomposites largely because of the tremendous strength and
chemicalinertness of diamond. Many other light elements such as hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine,
silicon, etc. may also be used.
IV. Ability To Defend From Immune System:
Immune system response is primarily a reaction to a "foreign" surface. Passive diamond exteriors may turn
out to be ideal. Several experimental studies hint that the smoother and more flawless the diamond surface, the
less leukocyte activity and the less fibrinogen adsorption we will get. So it seems reasonable to hope that when
diamond coatings can be laid down with almost flawless atomic precision, making nanorobot exterior surfaces
with near-nanometer smoothness that these surfaces may have very low bioactivity. Due to the extremely high
surface energy of the passivated diamond surface and the strong hydrophobicity of the diamond surface, the
diamond exterior is almost completely chemically inert and so opsonization should be minimized. If flawless
diamond surfaces alone do not prove fully bioinactive as hoped, active surface management of the nanorobot
exterior can be used to ensure complete nanodevice biocompatibility. Allergic and shock reactions are similarly
easily avoided.
4.1. ACQUIRING POWER:
It could metabolize local glucose and oxygen for energy. Another possibility is externally supplied
acoustic power, which is probably most appropriate in a clinical setting. There are literally dozens of useful
power sources that are potentially available in the human body.
4.2. COMMUNICATON:
Having nanorobots inside the body it is very essential to know the actions done by it. There are many
different ways to do this. One of the simplest ways to send broadcast-type messages into the body, to be
received by nanorobots, is acoustic messaging. A device similar to an ultrasound probe would encode messages
on acoustic carrier waves at frequencies between 1-10 MHz.
4.3. TRACKING:
A navigational network may be installed in the body, with station keeping navigational elements
providing high positional accuracy to all passing nanorobots that interrogate them, wanting to know their
location. Physical positions can be reported continuously using an in vivo communications Network.
V. Structure Of Nanorobot:
The nanorobot consists of three main parts like the DNA sensor, CPU, RNA converter and the power
System.The purpose of DNA sensor is to identify the HIV infected cell.The RNA converter is used to change
the RNA of the HIV.
The CPU controls all the activities .The power system provides the necessary energy for the working of the
Nanorobots.

VI. Components Of Nanorobot:
6.1. DNA SENSOR:
The DNA sensor is an cantilever type. In one arm the actual sample is placed and in the second arm the
sample from the WBC is placed.
Even if the samples differ by a single base, it can be identified. Carbon nanotube network field-effect transistors
(NTNFETs) that function as selective detectors of DNA immobilization and hybridization. NTNFETs with
immobilized synthetic oligonucleotides have been shown to specifically recognize target DNA sequences,
including H63D single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discrimination in the HFE gene, responsible for
hereditary hemochromatosis.
The electronic responses of NTNFETs upon single-stranded DNA immobilization and subsequent
DNA hybridization events were confirmed by using fluorescence-labeled oligonucleotides and then were further
explored for label-free DNA detection at picomolar to micromolar concentrations
6.2. POWER SYSTEM:
The nanorobot uses the glucose molecules present in the human body as the power source. The
conversion of this glucose molecule into the energy is accomplished by the energy converter, which is an
important part of the Nanorobots.
VII. Reqirements Of The Nanorobot:
1. It should e very small so that the blood capillary flow is not affected.
2. It should not be affected by the WBC.
3. It should be capable of sensing the HIV infected WBC only and its action is restricted to the infected WBC
only.
4. It should make its operations in the RNA to convert back to the original DNA of the WBC by suitably
changing the bases like the adenine, guanine.
5. It should convert the infected WBC into the original WBC in a very faster manner.
6. It should be made of cheaper rates, so that the patient can afford it easily.
VIII. Operation:
The designed anti-HIV nanorobots are injected into the blood stream. These nanorobots continues the
process of conversion in the bone marrow, blood and in the thymus glands where the concentration the WBC„s
are more. This process takes pace till the normal death of the patient.
IX. Advantages:
1. More than million people in this world are affected by this dreaded disease. Currently there is no permanent
vaccine or medicine is available to cure the disease. The currently available drugs can increase the patient‟s life
to a few years only, so the invention of this nanorobot will make the patients to get rid of the disease.

2. As the nanorobot do not generate any harmful activities there is no side effect. It operates at specific site only.
3. The initial cost of development is only high but the manufacturing by batch processing reduces the cost.
X. Disadvantages:
1. The nanorobot should be very accurate, otherwise harmful effects may occur.
2. The initial design cost is very high.
3. The design of this nanorobot is a very complicated one
XI. Conclusion:
The paper is just a theoretical justification. But the recent advancement in the field of nanotechnology
gives the hope of the effective use of this technology in medical field. This paper starts by giving an
introduction to nanorobots and its importance as recognized by various other technocrats. This is the beginning
of nano era and we could expect further improvements such as a medicine to AIDS using nanotechnology.
