1 The Applications and Research in Developing Nanorobots Nanorobots are devices of the nanoscale that are used for effectively sustaining and defending the human body against pathogens. The possibility of nanorobots was first proposed by Richard Feynman in his talk "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom," in 1959, who stated that machines could make smaller machines, and those smaller machines could make smaller machines up to a point where the machines would be in the molecular scale (Freitas 29). Feynman's theory of nanorobots became a hot topic in the last two decades when dramatic development in technology made the ideas of nanorobots feasible. The enormous potential in the biomedical capabilities of nanorobots and the imprecision and side effects of medical treatments today make nanorobots very desirable. Medical treatment today involves the use of surgery and drug therapy. Surgery is a direct, manual approach to fixing the body. However, no matter how highly trained the specialists may be, surgery can still be dangerous...
