A review/survey paper on Nanobots in Medical Applications for brain tumor detections

Abstract

This study is a review or survey on the use of nanobots in medicine. Designing and creating tiny machines, particularly robotic machines, is the field of nanorobotics. Any "smart" structure that is able to act, sense, signal, process information, think, manipulate, and exhibit swarm behaviour at the nanoscale is a nanorobot (10-9m). More specifically, the term "nanorobotics" (as opposed to "micro robotics") refers to the engineering field of nanotechnology that focuses on designing and creating nanorobots with devices that range in size from 0.1 to 10 micrometres and are made of components that are either nanoscale or molecular. Nanomedicine is one of the first practical applications of nanotechnology. Cancer cells are recognised and eliminated using biological devices. The project shown here was undertaken by an electronics and communication engineering post-graduate student in the department's second year at Bangalore's Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering. It was completed as part of the course requirements.
