This document discusses nanorobotics and its applications. It begins with an introduction to robotics in general before focusing on nanorobotics, which deals with robotic devices at the nanoscale level. Nanorobots could have a variety of medical applications, such as detecting pathogens in the bloodstream or acting as a mouthwash. Fractal robots are also discussed, which are modular robotic structures made of interconnected cubes that can rearrange themselves into different shapes. Fractal robots may one day be used for tasks like construction or repairing themselves. The document concludes by emphasizing the promising potential of nanorobotics technology.

 Fractal Robots
 Conclusion

3. Introduction to robotics
 Like nanotechnology, Robotics is the use of
technology to design and manufacture (intelligent)
machines, built for specific purposes, programmed to
perform specific tasks.

4. What is a Robot?
 Robots are programmable
machines
 They range from small to
large crane size
constructions

5.  NANOSCALE

6. Introduction to
Nanorobotics
 It deals with the controlled manipulation of objects
with nanometer scale dimensions
 Nano manipulation is most effective process.
 It is concerned with construction and programming of
robots with overall dimensions at the nanoscale.

7. NANOROBOTICS
 It is concerned with atomic and
molecular-sized objects and is also
called Molecular Robotics.
 Nanorobotics research has
proceeded along two lines:
- first is devoted to simulation
with nanoscale dimensions.
- second involves manipulation
with macroscopic instruments.

8. Nanorobot
 A nanorobot is a specialized
nanomachine.
 It has dimensions on the order of
nanometers.
 Typically 0.5 to 3 microns large with
1-100 nm parts.
 The possibility of nanorobots was
first proposed by Richard Feyman in
his talk “There’s Plenty of Room at
the Bottom” in 1959.

9. Features of Nanorobots
 Nanorobots can be categorized into two
groups called autonomous robots and
insect robots.
 A major asset of nanorobots is that they
require very little energy to operate.
 Durability is another potential asset, may
remain operational for years, decades or
centuries.
 High speed is also a significant
consideration. It can operate much faster
than their larger counterparts.

10. Nanorobots in medicine
 It’s structure will have two spaces consisting
of interior and exterior.
 They will communicate with doctor by
encoding messages to acoustic signals.
 The production of nanorobots has taken a
step closer to real application due to
technological advancements such as AFM ,
bionic motors, nano tanks, DNA as
computer, and nano robotics arms.
 Leonard Adleman confirmed that DNA is
programmable in computers.

11. Applications using
Nanorobots
 To cure skin disease and as cosmetic
cream.
 Can be used a a mouthwash to do all
brushing and flossing.
 Would augment immune system by
finding and killing bacteria and viruses.
 It would prevent heart attack , kill cancer
cells etc.
 To monitor potentially dangerous
microorganisms in the ocean.

12. Nanorobots can be used in blood cell
to detect pathogens.

13. Fractal Robots
 Fractal robot is a new kind of robot
made from motorized cubic bricks
that move under computer control.
 These cubic motorized bricks can
be programmed to move and
shuffle themselves to change
shape to make objects likes a
house potentially in a few seconds
because of their motorized internal
mechanisms.

14. Fractal Robot Example
 Example of a Dog shaped
fractal robot changing into a
couch

15. Fractal Robots and
Nanotechnology
 Nanotechnology materials are very costly.
 On the other hand, molecular
nanotechnology consumes hundreds of
millions of dollars in research funding and
does not produce a profit at this moment in
time because it is a very difficult subject to
research and develop.
 Fractal robots are made up of small cubes.
 Some cubes are design by using magnetic
field and some by using chips.

16. Fractal Robots &
Nanotechnology Compatible
Computers
 The design of a fractal nanocomputer is
not an easy task using conventional
principles.
 However, using fractal nanotechnology
principles, the exercise reduces to a
fairly simple exercise where you build a
fractal nanocomputer at the large scale.

17. SELF-REPAIR IN FRACTAL ROBOTS.
 Self repair is an important
breakthrough for realizing micro and
nanotechnology related end goals.
 Three different kinds of self repair
-Cube replacement
-Usage of plates to construct the
cubes.
-Using smaller fractal machines to
affect self repair inside large cubes.

18. Walking fractal robot performing self
repair

19. Process of use
Two types of process is using in fractal
moving:
 One is the magnetic field process
between cubes.
 And the second one is gearing process
between cubes.
Algorithms used for fractal moving and
one is very femilier pick and place
algorithm.

20. Features of fractal robots
 Communication of Power
& Data
 Internal Battery
 Technology today
 Costs - feasible
 Guaranteed Sales
 Increased demand

21. Applications of fractal robots
 It can be used in medicine.
 In mining.
 Using fractal robots it is possible to build even a space
station.
 Can be used to build roads and clear mines
 In agriculture

22. Conclusions
 All of the current developments in
technology directs human a step closer
to nanorobots production.
 Nanorobots can theoretically destroy all
common diseases of the 20th century,
thereby ending much of the pain and
suffering.
 Although research into nanorobots is in
its preliminary stages, the promise of
such technology is endless.
