A Technical Survey on Nanotechnology in Nanorobots
Abstract: Nanotechnology, the manipulation of matter at the atomic and molecular scale, has given rise to a revolutionary frontier: nanorobots – microscopic machines capable of interacting with biological systems and environments with unprecedented precision. This study explores the design, functionality, and application of nanorobots in medicine, environmental remediation, and materials science. By integrating principles from materials engineering, biotechnology, and robotics, nanorobots are engineered to perform tasks such as targeted drug delivery, …

Smart Drug Delivery Using Nanorobots
Abstract: In recent years, the field of micro/nanorobot research has gained popularity. Because it can be used in targeted medication distribution, surgical procedures, disease detection, etc., it has enormous promise in medical therapy. Different from conventional medication delivery, which depends on blood flow to drug delivery to difficult-to-reach locations is made possible by the planned micro/nanorobots' ability to move independently. Micro/nanorobots were powered by either endogenous power (chemical reaction energy) or …

Nanorobots: The Fight against Cholesterol
Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) rests leading reason of death globally, with atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque in arteries, playing a central role. Current treatment strategies, including lifestyle changes and medications, often fall short in completely reversing or preventing the progression of atherosclerosis. This has spurred the exploration of innovative approaches, with nanorobotics emerging as a promising avenue for targeted plaque control and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) enhancement. This article discusses how nanorobots …
