ABSTRACT
For many decades, nanotechnology has been developed with cooperation from researchers in several fields of studies including physics, chemistry, biology, material science, engineering, and computer science and it presents a wide range of problems and opportunities not just diverse issues, but issues of different kinds. In this project, we explore the nanotechnology development community in the area of Nano robotics and its functionality in both the science and medical world hoping is that this may lead to the realization of our visions [1].
A computational approach with the application of medical Nano robotics will be used to illustrate the Nano robot integrated architecture and layout. This should provide a suitable choice to establish a practical medical Nano robotics platform for the health sector [2].
