Nanorobotics (10 -9 meters)

Nanorobotics: An Overview o Introduction to “What is Robotics” o 3 Laws of Robotics o A shift from Microprocessor computing o Designing and a Mechanical View of nanorobots o Bio Equivalence of Mechanical Robotics o Advantages vs. Disadvantages o Future of Nanorobots

Isaac Asimov: Laws of Robotics 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. Ignore this slide

Present Nanorobotics o No artificial non-biological nanorobots have yet been created, it (mechanically) remains a hypothetical concept o Processors: sd What this really says is this…. o Forget about the electrical microprocessor that uses a microchip powered by transistors

Nanorobot Design Consists of…. o Molecular sorting rotors o Propeller o Fins o Sensors o location of nanorobots ultrasonic technique o Nanorobots produce ultrasonic waves by passing a signal to piezoelectric membrane

Replacing Transistors in Nanorobots Schematic of a Molecular tweezer based molecular switch or p. H sensor which relies on the change in formation at low p. H 7 (our equivalence of 1 in binary) peptide is in compact configuration and ions have access to gold substrate Low p. H (binary equivalence of 0) peptide is in open configuration and access of the ions is blocked by designate layers, resulting in reduced conductivity
