Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is molecular manufacturing or,more simply, building things one atom or moleculeat a time with programmed nanoscopic robot
arms.
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter (3 - 4atoms wide).
The trick is to manipulate atoms individually andplace them exactly where needed to produce thedesired structure.

Introduction to robotics
Like nanotechnology, Robotics is the useof technology to design and
manufacture (intelligent) machines, built forspecific purposes, programmed to performspecific tasks.

Introduction to Nanorobotics
It deals with the controlled manipulation ofobjects with nanometer scale dimensions
Nanomanipulation is most effectiveprocess.
It is concerned with construction and
programming of robots with overalldimensions at the nanoscale.

Nanorobotics
It is concerned with atomic andmolecular-sized objects and isalso called Molecular Robotics.
Nanorobotics research hasproceeded along two lines:
- first is devoted to simulation
with nanoscale dimensions.
- second involves manipulation
with macroscopic instruments.

Nanorobot
A nanorobot is a specializednanomachine.
It has dimensions on the order of
nanometers. Typically 0.5 to 3 microns large with
1-100 nm parts.
The possibility of nanorobots was
first proposed by Richard Feyman inhis talk Theres Plenty of Room atthe Bottom in 1959.

Features of Nanorobots
Nanorobots can be categorized into two groupscalled autonomous robots and insect robots.
A major asset of nanorobots is that they require
very little energy to operate. Durability is another potential asset, may remain
operational for years, decades or centuries.
High speed is also a significant consideration. It
can operate much faster than their largercounterparts.

Nanorobots in medicine
Its structure will have two spaces consisting ofinterior and exterior.
They will communicate with doctor by encoding
messages to acoustic signals. The production of nanorobots has taken a step
closer to real application due to technologicaladvancements such as AFM , bionic motors,nanotanks, DNA as computer, and nano robotics
arms. Leonard Adleman confirmed that DNA is
programmable in computers.

Applications using Nanorobots
To cure skin disease and as cosmetic cream.
Can be used a a mouthwash to do all brushingand flossing.
Would augment immune system by finding andkilling bacteria and viruses.
It would prevent heart attack , kill cancer cellsetc.
To monitor potentially dangerousmicroorganisms in the ocean.

Fractal Robots
Fractal robot is a new kind of robotmade from motorized cubic bricksthat move under computer control.
These cubic motorized bricks canbe programmed to move andshuffle themselves to changeshape to make objects likes ahouse potentially in a few seconds
because of their motorized internalmechanisms.

Fractal Robots and Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology materials are very costly.
On the other hand, molecular nanotechnologyconsumes hundreds of millions of dollars in research
funding and does not produce a profit at this moment intime because it is a very difficult subject to research anddevelop.
Fractal robots are a half way house between the difficultextremes of molecular nanotechnology and practical
ease of electromechanical engineering. They canimplement Digital Matter Control products and prepareus for the coming future.

Fractal Robots & NanotechnologyCompatible Computers
The design of a fractal nanocomputer is not aneasy task using conventional principles.
However, using fractal nanotechnology principles,the exercise reduces to a fairly simple exercisewhere you build a fractal nanocomputer at thelarge scale and providing you followed fractalprinciples, the computer technology scalesdownward to whatever resolution limit imposed bythe technology you are using.

Employing the functionality of the Built-inMicrocontroller of a Robotic Cube
All active robotic cubes have a limitedmicrocontroller to perform basic operations suchas communications and control of internalmechanisms.
To make a fractal nanocomputer, you canincrease the power of the microcontroller and / orfarm out existing functionality to turn the systeminto a fractal nanotechnology compatible
computer. Small robotic cubes can be added to the same
structure increasing the power.

Employing the power of the fractaloperating system
The fractal operating system plays a crucial role inmaking the integration of the system seamless andfeasible even if there are billions of CPUs in thecollective.
A fractal operating system uses a number of features toachieve these goals.
1. Seamless integration of software, data and hardware
2. Transparent data communications
3. Data compression at all levels includingcommunications
4. Awareness of built in self repair

SELF-REPAIR IN FRACTALROBOTS.
Self repair is an importantbreakthrough for realizing microand nanotechnology related end
goals. Three different kinds of self repair
-Cube replacement
-Usage of plates to construct the
cubes.-Using smaller fractal machines toaffect self repair inside large cubes.

Conclusions
All of the current developments in technologydirects human a step closer to nanorobotsproduction.
Nanorobots can theoretically destroy all commondiseases of the 20th century, thereby ending muchof the pain and suffering.
Although research into nanorobots is in itspreliminary stages, the promise of suchtechnology is endless.
