Description
The field of nanorobotics brings together several disciplines, including nanofabrication processes used for producing nanoscale robots, nanoactuators, nanosensors, and physical modeling at nano scales. Nanorobotic systems emphasize the engineering aspect of nanorobotics and include the manufacturing and application technologies of nanorobotic manipulation systems, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), and nanorobots (nano-sized robots, which are yet to be realized). NEMS will serve as both the tools to be used for fabricating future nanorobots as well as the components from which these nanorobots may be developed. At present, nanorobotic manipulation and assembly are the main approaches for building and characterization of NEMS. This book covers all of these issues.
