Abstract

This article focusses on the application of the nanorobots in diagnosis and treatment of some of the diseases like cancer, heart diseases, diabetes, gout etc. Nanorobots are controllable machines at the nanometer or molecular scale that are composed of nano scale components. With the modern scientific capabilities, it has become possible to attempt the creation of nanorobotic devices and interface them with the macro world for control. These devices are also a helpful tool in the drug delivery, which is a very important aspect of medical treatment. Nanorobots are capable of performing task like actuating, sensing, signalling, information processing and intelligence at the nanoscale. The most recent application of these devices are, the brain targeted delivery of drugs, glucose monitoring in diabetes patients, bone reconstruction, cancer treatment, removal of blood clots, nerve regeneration and protein and peptide drug delivery system. Thus they play a vital role in the field of biomedicine especially in the treatment of cancer, cerebral aneurysm, kidney stones removal and some other treatments that have greatest aid to save human lives. This review guides to the recent research on nanorobots in the bio medical applications.
