ABSTRACT

In recent years, much research work has been on going in the quest to find an ideal system for drug delivery within the human body. Drug delivery is a very important aspect of medical treatment. As consequence of Nanotechnology, new technique consisting of devices coming into the market among these Nanorobots finds opportunity in cure of human illness. Nanorobots structures are capable of performing task like actuating, sensing, signalling, information processing and intelligence at the nano scale. Nanorobots are programmed nanodevices or controlling machine that is used for protecting or treating human body against pathogen. “Nanorobot can diagnose, monitor and treat disease”. The size of nonorobots is normally range from 0.5 to 3 microns in diameter. These devices include miniature power-driven mechanical parts that are required to retract, dispense drug or do a needful action at the required site in the body to cure diseases. The most recent application of these Nanorobots in drug delivery are in brain targeting, glucose monitoring in diabetes patients, bone reconstruction, cancer treatment, in removal of blood clot, nerve regeneration, and protein and peptide drug delivery system.
