NANOBOTS IN THE BLOOD
WHAT IS A NANOROBOT
• Nanotechnology: creation of microscopic objects
• A robot that is so small that it is nearly invisible to the naked eye
MODES OF NAVIGATION
External Systems
• Ultrasonic signals
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
• Radioactive dye
• X-rays
• Radio waves
• Heat
Onboard Systems
• Chemical sensors
• Spectroscopic sensors
• Miniature television camera
POWERING NANOROBOTS
• Patient’s body
• Direct power from the bloodstream
• Chemical reactions
• Heat
• System within the nanorobot
• Nuclear power
• Physical tether
• Ultrasonic signals
• Magnetic fields
MICROBIVORE NANOROBOTS
• Function similarly to white blood cells
• Fast
• Eliminate bacterial infections
RESPIROCYTE NANOROBOTS
• Function similarly to red blood cells
• Carry oxygen
• Helpful for those with anemia
CLOTTOCYTE NANOROBOTS
• Function similarly to platelets
CELLULAR REPAIR NANOROBOTS
• Perform surgical procedures
• Precise
• Work at a cellular level

MEDICAL APPLICATIONS
• Build/break down molecules
• Surgery
• Cancer
• Antibiotics
• Arteriosclerosis
• Blood clots
• Help the body clot
• Parasite removal
• Gout
• Break up kidney stones
• Clean wounds
SAMPLE INTERVIEW QUESTION
