What are nanorobot applications?
There are many potential nanorobot applications in a wide range of fields and industries. Perhaps the most commonly cited and most interesting use is in the biomedical field, where they represent opportunities for new methods of supplying drugs, treatment of diseases at molecular level and for reconstruction of damaged tissue. There are also potential design and engineering use of nanorobots, in which they can be used to build other small devices and perform slight repairs. The potential military use of these robots as weapons was also considered and could be catastrophic. Nanorobots are designed on an incredibly small scale, so they are similar in size to molecules. One of the most common types of uses for these robots would be the development of new treatment procedures in medicine and other biological applications. The incredibly small size of these robots would allow them to deploy a person in the body and apply treatment to the molecular level.
One of the most interesting possible applications for nAnorobotes are more accurate delivery of medicines. Tablets could be swallowed by molecular robots that supply medicines directly to the injury or illness area. Other machines could be used to target harmful cells or viruses in the body of the person and either destroy them or otherwise cause them not to damage a person. There are even possible applications where Nanorobots could be used to help or repair damaged tissue in the body of the person.
Some scientists speculated opportunities in which Nanorobots can be used in construction and engineering. These small robots could be used to create more complex small devices or objects or to perform particularly fine repairs on small systems. One possible use could be the inclusion of these species of robots in the suits of future astronauts on the Mission Planet, which could be deployed in an emergency to repair the damage to the astronaut suit.
There are also several less beneficial options for using nanorobots, especially in military and weapons. Theoretically, it would be equally easy to program nanorobot to find cancer cells in the human body and deactivate them because it would be programmed to find healthy cells and activate them. Nanorobots could be potentially used as a weapon, deployed similarly to a biological agent to destroy people or objects at a molecular level. The past size of these robots would also cause it to be very difficult to detect after such an attack.
