ABOUT NANOBOTS
FUNCTIONAL NANOBOTS
FUNCTION OF ORGANIC NANOBOTS
Advantages and disadvantages of inorganic nanobots
Advantages:
Øwell-understood component behaviour
Ø ease of programming
Ø ease of external control
Ø unlimited chemistry (with enough energy)
Disadvantages:
Ødifficult and expensive to make
Ø not self-reproducing
Ø difficulty of communicating with organic
systems
Ø must carry own (limited) payload
Advantages and disadvantages of organic nanobots
ADVANTAGE:
Øeasy to make using genetic engineering
Ø self-reproducing (cheap)
Ø easily communicate with other organic systems
Ø protein factories manufacture payload
DISADVANTAGE:
Øpoorly understood component behaviour
(proteins)
Ø hard to program
Ø limited external control mechanisms
Ø limited to CHON chemistry and needs water
Atherosclerosis
Capabilities of a plaque
fighting nanobot
:
Ønanobots are introduced into
patient’s bloodstream
Ø move towards atherosclerotic plaque
Ø bind in the region
Ø make and secrete a plaque-dissolving protein
( ApoA-I(M) )
Ø exhibit behavioural
dependency
