The ability to manipulate matter at the nano scale is one core application for which nanorobots could be the technological solution. Nanorobots would constitute any passive or active structure capable of actuation, sensing, signalling, intelligence and swarm behaviour at nano scale. The applications range from medical to environmental sensing to space and military applications. From precise drug delivery to repairing cells and fighting tumor cells, nanorobots are expected to enable new treatments for patients suffering from different diseases and will result in remarkable advance in the history of medicine. The nanorobots are invisible to naked eye, which makes them hard to manipulate and work with. Techniques like scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are being employed to establish a visual interface to enable us to sense the molecular structure of these nanorobots. This review focuses on design, components, manufacture, types and applications of nanorobots.
