Medical Nanorobots

21st Century Medicine using Nanorobots

Welcome to Medical Nanorobots
 
medicalnanorobots image1Medical Nanorobots were pioneered by Robert Freitas.  He has conceptualized and worked through the mechanics of the ability to design, build, and deploy large numbers of medical nanorobots within the human body.  The objective would be the rapid elimination of disease and quick, painless recovery from physical trauma. Medical nanorobots might also make possible the correction of genetic defects, and help us to live much longer, healthier lives.


Somewhat more controversially, medical nanorobots could also be used to augment natural human capabilities, aiding in memory, sight, etc.  Also, the safety and effectiveness of medical nanorobots will depend upon their ability to coexist within the body (biocompatibility with human organs, tissues and cells). Compatibility issues have received considerable work by Freitas.

Future of Medicine     

medicalnanorobots image2I am a big fan of KurzweilAI.net.  Here's something I found about medical nanorobots coming out of Russia. The propellant is borrowed from our own biology - flagellae. Click the picture to visit the interesting website with more illustrations.


Medical Nanorobots, when fully developed, will radically change the scope of what is possible in medical science. Medical Nanorobots have the potential to quickly eliminate toxins or cancer cells, repair damaged biological structures, and restore and maintain the body in a state of youthful health.  It is likely that the first medical nanorobots may be buildable 10-20 years from today using an advanced molecular manufacturing technology. Medical nanorobots will have posess onboard sensors, molecular pumps and valves, computers, energy supplies, and components for communication, manipulation, and navigation.


Thanks for visiting Medical Nanorobots dot com.  As new information about medical nanotechnology becomes available - we will include it in our article base and newsfeeds.  All the best for a healthy, expanding lifespan through medical nanorobots.
