Initial uses of nanorobots to health care are likely to
emerge within the next ten years with potentially broad biomedical
applications. The ongoing developments of molecular-scale electronics,
sensors and motors are expected to enable microscopic robots with
dimensions comparable to bacteria.
Recent
developments in the field of biomolecular computing have demonstrated
positively the feasibility of processing logic tasks with bio-computers,
which is a promising first step to enable future nanoprocessors
with increasing complexity. Studies in the sense of building biosensors
and nano-kinetic devices, which is required to enable nanorobots
operation and locomotion, have also been advanced recently.
Moreover, classical objections related to the actual feasibility
of nanotechnology, such as quantum mechanics, thermal motions and
friction, have been considered and resolved, and discussions about
the manufacturing of nanodevices are growing up.
Developing
nanoscale robots presents difficult fabrication and control challenges.
A practical approach within advanced graphics simulations is presented
for the problem of nanorobots automation and its application for
medicine. The approaches described in our papers focus mainly on
nanorobot control design for assembly manipulation and the use of
evolutionary agents as a suitable way to enable the robustness of
the proposed model. Also, the presented papers summarize distinct
aspects of some techniques required to achieve a successful nano-planning
system design and its 3D-simulation visualization in real time.
The control design and the development of complex nanosystems with
high performance can be well analysed and addressed via simulation
to help pave the way for future use of nanorobots in biomedical
engineering problems.
