Abstract


When we enter the enchanting world of electronics we have pleasant routes. The path we have chosen is the union of robotics & medicine. The integration of nanotechnology into medicine is likely to bring some new challenges in medical treatment. Let us peep inside the real world of NANOTECHNOLOGY.

Nanorobot is a wonderful vision of medicine in the future. The most advanced nanomedicine involves the use of nanorobots as miniature surgeons. Advancement in nanotechnology may allow us to build artificial red blood cells called Respirocytes capable of carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules (i.e., functions of natural blood cells). Respirocytes are nanorobots, tiny mechanical devices designed to operate on the molecular level.  Respirocytes can provide a temporary replacement for natural blood cells in the case of an emergency. 

Thus respirocytes will literally change the treatment of heart disease.
