  • Published:
Automatic Documentation and Mathematical Linguistics Aims and scope

Abstract

In this article theoretical developments in the field of nanorobots and methods of nanorobot construction at the microscopic and molecular levels are analyzed. The issues of simulation of nanorobots and their components and the questions of control and energy sources are considered. Some experimental results and examples of applications are presented.
