ABSTRACT
This chapter emphasizes the far-reaching problems in synthesis, design, analysis, modeling, simulation, and simulation of nanomachines. Rotational and translational nanomachines, controlled by nanoscale integrated circuits, can be widely used as nanoscale actuators and sensors. Although this is still a vision that may not materialize in near future, say within 20 to 30 years, fundamental and applied research should be performed. The implications of nanotechnology to motion nanodevices have received meticulous consideration as technologies to fabricate these nanomachines have been studied and developed. Furthermore, basic fundamentals and applied researched have been performed. Organic and inorganic micromachines (fabricated using micromachining technologies) serve as nanomachine prototypes and proof-of-concept paradigm. These micromachines have been tested and characterized. One must address and solve a spectrum of problems in synthesis, analysis, modeling, optimization, biomimicking, and prototyping of nanomachines. These nanomachines and motion nanodevices must be synthesized (devised) before attempts to analyze, optimize, and fabricate them, because basic physical features, energy conversion, operating principles, and other issues significantly contribute to sequential tasks in analysis, control, optimization, and design. This is of particular significance for electromagnetic and chemoelectromagnetic motion nanomachines. This chapter reports and successfully applies distinct concepts

and methods. In particular, the field of engineering biomimetics is applied to prototype nanomachines, and the synthesis and classification solver that
allows one to synthesize novel nanomachines, as well as classify and refine various motion nanodevices, is discussed. The fundamental, applied, and experimental results are documented in order to accomplish the analysis and design illustrating their significance, validity, and effectiveness.
