Nanorobot Architecture: Case Analysis: Nano Robot Architecture
4. Nano Robot Architecture
The main parameters used for the medical nanorobot architecture and its control activation, as well as the required technology background that may lead to manufacturing hardware for molecular machines, are described next.
4.1 Manufacturing Technology
The ability to manufacture nanorobots may result from current trends and new methodologies in fabrication, computation, transducers and manipulation. The hardware architecture for a medical nanorobot must include the necessary devices for monitoring the most important aspects of its operational workspace: the human body. Depending on the case, different gradients on temperature, concentration of chemicals in the bloodstream, and electromagnetic signature are some of relevant parameters when monitoring patients. Teams of nanorobots may cooperate to perform predefined complex tasks in medical procedures. To reach this aim, data processing, energy supply, and data transmission capabilities can be addressed through embedded …show more content…
Researching the requirements, anticipated behavior and performance, and design of control strategies will require simulation tools which will both model foreseeable nanoscale technologies, and in turn influence the development of the same technologies.
The simulation approach presented in this paper consists of adopting a multi-scale view of the scenario, which is comprised of: macroscale physical morphology and physiological flow patterns, and on the nanoscale, the nanorobot fluid dynamics, orientation and drive mechanisms, sensing and control. Two simulations are used to achieve the most faithful modeling of nanorobots behavior in a real physical context. These simulations (NCD for the micro level, CFD for the macro level) are described in the next paragraphs, starting with assumptions made for the nanorobot
