Robotics


   Molecular motors - synthetic nanoscale motors capable of generating torque is applied to it with sufficient energy.

   Nanorobots - robots created out of nanomaterials and size comparable with a molecule possessing the function of motion, processing and transmission of information, execution of programs. Nanorobots capable of creating copies of itself, that is, self-reproduction, are called replicators. Ability to create nanobots considered in his book "Machines creating" an American scientist Eric Drexler. Questions of development of nano-robots and their components are considered at-profile international conferences.

   Molecular propellers - nanoscale molecules in the form of screws that can perform rotational motion due to its special form similar to the form of macroscopic screw.

   Since 2006, the project RoboCup (football championship among robots) appeared in the nomination «Nanogram Competition», in which the playing field consists of a square of side 2.5 mm. The maximum amount a player is limited to 300 microns.
