Computational Nanomechatronics: A Pathway for Control and Manufacturing Nanorobots

This paper describes an innovative work for nanorobot design and manufacturing, using a computer simulation and system on chip prototyping approach. The use of CMOS as integrated circuits, with the miniaturization from micro towards nanoelectronics, and the respective advances of nanowires are considered into the proposed model design and discussed as a practical pathway to enable embedded sensors for manufacturing nanorobots. The proposed nanorobot model is applied to hydrology monitoring. It can be useful for agriculture or environmental monitoring and management.
