Neuronanorobotics is the application of medical nanorobots to the human brain. This paper proposes three specific classes of neuronanorobots, named endoneurobots, gliabots and synaptobots, which together can non-destructively map and monitor the structural changes occurring on the 86 x 10 neurons and the 2.42 x 10 synapses in the human brain, while also recording the synaptic-processed 4.31 x 1...

Since the pioneering vision of Feynman in his now famous lecture ‘There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom’ first delivered at an American Physical Society meeting at Caltech in December 1959 [1], film and scientific exploration at the nanoscale have been lending each other imagery and targets to achieve. It took only 5 years from Feynman’s lecture for a fellow resident of Los Angeles, Harry Kleine...

One of the most pressing concerns to global public health is emergence drug-resistant pathogenic microorganisms due increased unconscious antibiotic usage. With rising resistance, existing antimicrobial agents lose their effectiveness over time. This indicates that newer and more effective methods should be investigated. Many studies have shown micro-/nanorobots exhibit promise in treatment mic...

Nanotechnology is manipulating matter at nanometre level. Applications of nanotechnology for treatment, diagnosis, monitoring, and control of biological systems has recently been referred to as “nanomedicine” by the National Institutes of Health. It holds promise for advanced diagnostics, targeted drug delivery and biosensors. In the long term, medical nanorobots will allow instant pathogen det...

This work presents a new approach with details on the integrated platform and hardware architecture for nanorobots application in epidemic control, which should enable real time in vivo prognosis of biohazard infection. The recent developments in the field of nanoelectronics, with transducers progressively shrinking down to smaller sizes through nanotechnology and carbon nanotubes, are expected...

This work has an innovative approach for the development of nanorobots with sensors for medicine. The nanorobots operate in a virtual environment comparing random, thermal and chemical control techniques. The nanorobot architecture model has nanobioelectronics as the basis for manufacturing integrated system devices with embedded nanobiosensors and actuators, which facilitates its application f...

Recent advances in the nanorobots design and implementation field considers requirements that serve medical applications according to one of two scenarios: drug delivery and discovery tasks. These scenarios are based on detecting threshold concentration of specific chemicals emitted by cells or searching particular places in the human body and acting upon findings. These scenarios emphasize loc...
