ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on the state of the art in the field of nanorobotics by considering various theories and experiments. Nanorobots are controllable machines at the nanometer or molecular scale that are composed of nanoscale components. Reaching, identifying, and manipulating the nanoworld need some tools in macroworld. Teleoperated systems, especially the scanning probe microscopes, are the usual systems that have been utilized for this purpose. Therefore, it is obvious that in a teleoperation system, both macro- and nanoscale processes can be extensively effective. The natural coordinate system simplifies the defining of the shape functions and the two-dimensional numerical integration. Mathematical models could be used for the interpretation of physical phenomena. The goal of these models is to provide simple ways of showing the causes of various behaviors. In the field of numerical problems, there exist two basic models: the classical Newtonian mechanics and the Quantum mechanics.
