ABSTRACT
Nanobots are robots of size below 200nm. Due to the various restrictions and the multifaceted aspects of a nanobot its difficult to implement as compared to a microbot (having size in the micrometer scale). The construction of Nanobots is heavily dependent on Molecular nanotechnology and Mechano-synthetic chemistry. These robots are NEMS (Nano-electro Mechanical Systems) based devices which are programmed to carry out either one or multiple tasks with high efficiency, minimal work output and consumption of power. The Size and wide programmable capabilities of Nanobots allow them to have huge scope in bio-medical, pure medical and pharmaceutical applications. There are different ways to create nanobots as they can either be made purely synthetic or biodegradable or a mix of both called Bio-Hybrid nanobots. This paper provides an overview of some of the feasible construction techniques that can be used to build nanobots for their use in the biomedical applications and current trends and future scope of nanobots in biomedical applications.
