ABSTRACT
Nanorobotics is an emerging technology attempting to create miniaturized machines of the size of a few micrometers and below, consisting of components of few hundred nanometers that are capable of motion with functions like control and autonomy as their macro counterparts. Inspired by the microorganisms existing in nature that function expeditiously in low-Reynolds-number domains, researchers have shown a great interest to mimic, conceptualize, model, analyze, and develop micronanosize robots that can locomote inside the human body. The prime reason for advancing attempts in the eld of nanorobotics is the potential applications of the nanorobots in targeted drug delivery, in viscera nanosurgery, health care, surveillance, fault diagnosis in pipes, environmental monitoring, and many others.
