Book excerpt: Robotics has markedly extended the reach of human beings in sensing, manipulating, and transforming the world around us. One of the most inspiring challenges in science and technology is to extend our capacity with tiny robots towards operations at the micro/nanoscales, a dimension where we can directly interact with fundamental biological building blocks. This thesis is devoted to advancing micro/nanorobotics to extend human being's capacities in following three themes, with a special focus being given to biomedical applications. The first theme focuses on design and fabrication of bio-inspired un-tethered nanorobots with efficient locomotion, adaptive operation, collective regulation, and eventually biological function towards operation in whole blood. The second theme explores the versatility of functional micro/nanorobots to perform diverse tasks including writing (nanolithography), reading (superresolution imaging), destroying (warfare agents), and repairing (surface cracks), all at the micro/nanoscale. The third theme employs self-propelling microrobot as an active delivery technique that autonomously and precisely transports the therapeutic agents inside live animal's gastrointestinal tract, improving therapeutic efficacy for bacterial infection treatment. This technique opens the door for micro/nanorobots as an active delivery platform for medical treatment and is promising for a wide range of personalized diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Ultimately, micro/nanorobots has the potential to change the game of science, engineering, and medicine by extending our capacity at the micro/nanoscale. The novel applications presented in this thesis are just a few examples showing the power of micro/nanorobots, with countless more avenues waiting to be explored towards living and active matter, and eventually artificial intelligence and synthetic life at the micro/nanoscale.

In this regard, we are organizing a special issue to delineate the current state of the art of micro/nanorobots in biological contexts and to advance therapeutics by elucidating the underlying mechanisms in living systems. In the contemporary era of advancing nanomedicine, the utilization of micro/nanorobots in clinical therapy is still in its nascent stages within the realm of modern healthcare. Biomedical and biological environments hold immense promise as platforms for these active agents, showcasing remarkable functionalities and efficacy in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo. Micro/nanorobots have the capacity to emulate the behaviors of living cells, particularly bacteria, which play a crucial role in microbial infections, thus impacting public health and medical devices. These active agents possess the potential to overcome biological barriers and enable targeted therapies for various healthcare issues, including the prevention and treatment of diseased tissues and biofilms, which will significantly enhance the minimally invasive operations and remote treatments for the next-generation human healthcare system. The objectives of this research topic are threefold: (1) to investigate the novel functionalities of micro/nanorobots in biological contexts, (2) to unravel the underlying principles of cell, tissue, and organ development, and (3) to innovate active therapeutic approaches for addressing diseased tissues and microbial biofilms

This isn't science fiction anymore. Nanorobots, microscopic machines designed for medical applications, are poised to revolutionize healthcare. This comprehensive guide delves into the exciting potential and current realities of nanorobots in healthcare. Early Detection Made Easy: Nanorobots as Diagnostic Powerhouses Imagine a world where diseases are caught in their earliest stages, before symptoms even appear. Nanorobots could be the key. These microscopic machines can act as scouts within your body, searching for specific biomarkers – molecules associated with disease. This early detection could lead to: Improved Treatment Outcomes: By catching diseases early, doctors can intervene sooner and potentially achieve better results. Personalized Medicine: Early detection allows for tailored treatment plans based on the specific characteristics of the disease at the individual level. Targeted Drug Delivery: Striking Like a Mini Missile Traditional drug delivery methods often have limitations. Medications can have harmful side effects on healthy tissues and struggle to reach their target sites. Nanorobots offer a groundbreaking solution: targeted drug delivery. These tiny machines can be loaded with specific medications and programmed to navigate the body, releasing their payload directly at the disease site. This could lead to: Reduced Side Effects: Delivering drugs directly to diseased cells minimizes the impact on healthy tissues, leading to fewer side effects. Increased Drug Efficacy: Delivering medications directly to their target allows for a higher concentration at the disease site, potentially improving treatment effectiveness. Beyond Surgery: Nanorobots for Repair and Regeneration Nanorobots have the potential to go beyond traditional surgery. They could become instrumental in minimally invasive procedures and tissue repair: Minimally Invasive Surgery: Nanobots could perform intricate surgeries with minimal incisions, leading to faster recovery times and less scarring. Tissue Repair and Regeneration: Nanobots could deliver growth factors to stimulate cell proliferation and healing or even create microscopic scaffolds to guide tissue regrowth in damaged areas. Your Internal Guardians: Nanorobots for Continuous Monitoring Imagine having tiny guardians constantly monitoring your health from within. Nanobots could become a reality for continuous health monitoring, providing real-time data on various health parameters like blood sugar levels, cellular activity, and early signs of disease progression. This constant monitoring could lead to: Personalized Alerts and Interventions: Based on the data collected, nanobots could trigger personalized alerts for doctors and patients, allowing for early intervention and potential adjustments to medication or lifestyle. Chronic Disease Management: Nanobots could be invaluable tools for managing chronic diseases like diabetes or heart disease by continuously monitoring vital signs and delivering medication as needed. A Glimpse into the Future: Exploring the Possibilities Beyond The potential of nanorobots in healthcare extends beyond the physical body. Future advancements might see them integrated with artificial intelligence for real-time decision making and personalized treatment plans, or even brain-computer interfaces for a direct link between the brain and external devices. However, with such groundbreaking technology comes a complex set of ethical considerations that need to be addressed before widespread use becomes a reality. Join the Conversation: Exploring the Future of Nanomedicine Nanorobots in healthcare represent a future brimming with possibilities. This guide has just scratched the surface. As research continues, the potential applications of these microscopic machines continue to expand. By understanding the current state, potential benefits, and remaining challenges, we can pave the way for the responsible development and use of nanorobots for a healthier future.
