Umt for a Nanorobotics Platform Operating in a Cold Helium Atmosphere

The development of a new nanorobofics plafform based on afleef of scienfifc instruments configured as wireless minwme robots capable of fasf operafions at the nanoscole in a cooling chamber has been proposed To cope wifh fhe excessive hear of the robofs, the heat dissipafion is enhanced byfilling fhe chamber with cooled Helium. While the high-powered robots can be mainfained af relafively low operating femperafures, the infared positioning and communication systems needed lo coordinate the robots, would wifhoufprotecfion, bepermanently damaged when exposed IO such low ambient femperafure levels. This paper describes fhe design of an infared and communication unif capable to operate under these excessive conditions whilefi@lling fhe communication and coordinafion requirements of such a nonoroboticspla@om.
