ABSTRACT:
Nanorobotics is a new field of study that has the potential to improve targeted delivery to specific parts of the body. Nanorobots are extremely small devices (50-100 nm diameter) designed to deliver medications to specific cells or tissues, potentially increasing treatment efficacy while reducing toxic effects. Advantage of nanorobots is that they can be equipped with sensors that detect changes in their surroundings, allowing medications to be released precisely when and where they are required. This study also discusses their potential impact on targeted drug delivery, disease diagnosis and biomedical applications.
