DESCRIPTION
The path we have chosen is the union of robotics & medicine. The integration of nanotechnology into medicine is likely to bring some new challenges in medical treatment. The proposed application of nanorobots can range from common cold to dreadful disease like cancer. Some such examples can be Pharmacyte, Respirocyte, Microbivores, Chromallocyte and many more. The study of nanorobots has lead to the field of Nanomedicine. Nanomedicine offers the prospect of powerful new tools for the treatment of human diseases and the improvement of human biological systems.

What is Nanotechnology
• the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale.
• deals with structures sized between 1 to 100 nanometer in at least one dimension.
• involves developing materials or devices within that size.

WHAT ARE NANOROBOTS?
Nanorobots are tiny machines used to cure diseases in human or in any organism.
Performs task at nanoscale dimensions.
The size of nanorobots is 10 -9.
The prefix ‘nano’ means billionth.

WHY IN THE MEDICAL FIELD
Today's surgical tools are, at this scale, large and crude.
more suited to tear and injure than heal and cure.
cells have a remarkable ability to regroup, bury their dead and heal over the injury.

WHY IN THE MEDICAL FIELD
“The manufacturing technology of the 21st century”.
computer controlled molecular tools much smaller than a human cell and built with the accuracy and precision of drug molecules.
Such tools will medicine, for the first time, intervene in a sophisticated and controlled way at the cellular and molecular level.
They remove obstructions in the circulatory system, kill cancer cells, or take over the function of subcellular organelles.
Just as today we have the artifical heart, so in the future we could have the artificial mitochondrion.

DESIGN

Heart surgery
• Blood vessels play an important role in supplying blood to all parts of our body.
• Due to the fatty deposition on the walls of blood vessels blood will not move freely to all parts.
• These leads to heart attacks and damage the vital organs.
04/10/2023 Govt.S.K.S.J.T.I, E.C.Dept 12
Molecular sorting rotors:• Made up of carbon nanotubes.• Sheet of carbon atom forms a carbon nanotubes.• SWNT’s can be used to generate mechanical motion.• Nanotube with nanogears used for changing the
direction of movement. Propeller:
• in nanorobots it is used to drive forward against the blood stream.
Fins:• Fitted along with the propellers used to
propel the device.
Sensors:• Fitted externally and internally with the
nanorobots to receive the
• signal for correct guidance.

CANCER TREATMENT A. THERASPHERES
• delivers radiation directly to the tumor cells in the liver using glass microsphere. – The size of a microsphere is
20-30 µm in diameter
• It has currently been used in the U.S., Canada and Australia.

CANCER TREATMENT A. THERASPHERES
• It consists of microspheres of 17Y2O3-19Al2O3-64SiO2 (mole %) glass.
• 89Yttrium in this glass is non-radioactive. • guided via a catheter into the hepatic artery, the
liver’s main blood vessel.
04/10/2023 Govt.S.K.S.J.T.I, E.C.Dept 15
CANCER TREATMENT A. THERASPHERES
• the radiation-laden spheres get stuck within the smaller blood cells that sustain tumors. – These spheres produce radiation only to
tissue with an average range of 2.5 mm and maximum range of less than 1 cm.
• The Beta energy is then able to attack the tumor with minimal residual damage to the liver.– The 90yttrium then decays to stable
90zirconium.

CANCER TREATMENT B. HYPERTHERMIA
• Cancerous cells are poorly supplied with oxygen to produce lactic acid. – Therefore, these cells can be destroyed around 43oC.
• Because the tumor tissue has higher heat sensitivity and smaller cooling effect

• a ferromagnetic glass-ceramic containing 36 weight % of magnetite (Fe3O4) in a CaO-SiO2 matrix.
• These materials are injected to the cancerous cells in the form of microsphere in the size of 20 – 30 µm in diameter through the blood vessels.
• Upon exposure to alternating magnetic field, these ferri- or ferromagnetic particles radiates off heat by magnetic hysteresis loss which in turn rises the temperature of the cancerous cells causing it to die.
After injection of ferri-/ferromagnetic particles, it is exposed to alternating magnetic field.

Human Osteoblasts
Titanium Joints
JOINT REPLACEMENTS
• Conventional artificial joints are made of titanium to which osteoblasts adhere to upon implant.
– Conventional titanium have surface features on the scale of microns
– Any tiny rejection response can Weaken the implant attachment Become loose and painful
• osteoblasts would adhere much better to materials
– Having the same chemistry as DNA makes it easy for other body protein components to attach to the surface of these nanotubes. Preventing rejection response

• The self-assembling nanotubes are made of guanine and cytosine, which are called “base pairs” molecules that come together to form DNA.
• They are programmed to link in groups of six to form rosette-shaped rings.
• Numerous rings then combine together to form the rod-like nanotubes with the width of only about 3.5 nanometers.

INJECTION OF NANOROBOTS • Find a way to introduce nanorobots into the body for surgery.• Allow it to do the operation without ancillary damage.• Femoral artery in the leg is considered to be a largest artery
in our body.
NAVIGATION• Nanorobots use blood flow for its movement.
• In order to move the nanorobots in blood flow,
Speed of blood
Get through the heart without stuck
React with changes in blood flow rate
Able to change the direction according to the blood stream
• To satisfy this, nanorobots should be made with electric motors to turn propeller Govt.S.K.S.J.T.I, E.C.Dept 21

POSITIONING• ultrasonic technique.• Nanorobots must be able to produce
ultrasonic waves by passing a signal to piezoelectric membrane.
• Several signal processing techniques are used to track this ultrasonic signal and to find the location at any time.
DETECTION• Sensors are used to locate the fatty
deposits.• To control the nanorobots as per our wish
fit the TV camera .• Sensors are used to receive the signals
and do the operations • according to signals send by remote
control unit. DESTRUCTIONTo take nanorobots from the body we use two methods one is retrace our path upstream another is making small surgery to remove.
