Abstract:
Nanorobotics is an emerging interdisciplinary field that combines nanotechnology, robotics, and biomedical engineering to develop microscopic robotic systems capable of performing precise and controlled operations at the nanoscale. This paper explores the diverse applications of nanorobots in medicine, particularly in targeted drug delivery, minimally invasive surgeries, and early disease detection, highlighting their potential to enhance treatment efficacy while reducing side effects. Additionally, the role of nanorobotics in industrial automation is examined, focusing on their contributions to precision manufacturing, material manipulation, and quality control in nanofabrication processes. A comparative analysis is conducted to evaluate advancements in nanorobotic design, functionality, and integration with artificial intelligence for autonomous decision-making. The study also identifies key challenges, including fabrication complexities, energy efficiency, control mechanisms, and biocompatibility concerns, which must be addressed for widespread adoption. Figures, tables, and bar charts are utilized to present data on current developments, technological barriers, and projected future trends. Finally, the paper discusses emerging opportunities in nanorobotics, emphasizing its transformative potential in medicine, industry, and beyond.
