Nanobot Bloodstream: A Journey Through Microscale Robotics…

What Are Nanobots?

Nanobots are microscopic robots designed to operate at the nanoscale. They can be used for various applications including drug delivery, diagnostics, and even tissue repair.

These tiny machines range in size from 1 to 100 nanometers and are often composed of materials such as metals or polymers.

How Nanobots Move

Nanobots can move through the bloodstream using various mechanisms, including Brownian motion and directed propulsion.

They may also be equipped with micropropellers that allow them to swim against fluid flow, enabling targeted delivery of therapies.
