Abstract
Ab initio calculations are employed to investigate nitrogen inversion as a configuration change that can supply an infinitely useful switchable control mechanism for some complex systems. In this paper, the design of a new pedal-like nano-scale robot is discussed based on nitrogen inversion. This work introduces the design of a nano pedal in which different structures of the arms created two diverse kinds of pedals: a) nano pedal without intersectional motion and b) nano pedal with intersectional motion. In (a), due to stereo repellent in the two pedal arms, they were unable to pass each other and could only move back and forth in one direction. However, in (b), due to an increase in the axis connecting the two arms, the issue of stereo repellent of nitrogen was looked over and the arms could pass each other and moved in a larger domain.
