Emergence of Nanotechnology in Sensing and Actuation of Biorobotics

摘要

This paper analyzes the various sub-fields impacted by nanotechnology in the development of innovative bio-robotic systems as well as those with promising future evolutions. The approach followed is the schematization approach in the assessment of the mechatronics devices hardware parts, through separate analysis of the complex system known as the sensing module and actuation module, as well as the description of how the application of nanotechnology is entering the process of design and individual block evolution. Further, the paper discusses the key challenges and upcoming perspectives associated with the addition of nanotechnology within Nano and micro-robots within the bio-robotic system.
