Abstract-- Nanobots is an emerging field of Nanotechology which deals with design and construction of devices at
an atomic, molecular or cellular level. These Nanobots will be extremely small and transverse inside the human
body. As these Nanobots would have special sensors to detect the target molecules and treat various vital diseases.
It is used in treatment of Anemia, Cancer, AIDS, Heart Attack, Kidney Stones, etc., This paper will look at how the
recent advancements in Nanobots in vital deseases to treat Cancer and AIDS.
I. INTRODUCTION
Nanobots are incredibly tiny robots, down at macroscopic scales. The name comes from a combination of
Nanometer (i.e, the atomic level) which is one billionth of a meter (10 -9 m). Molecular Robotics falls within the
purview of Nanotechnology, which is the study of phenomena and structures with characteristic dimensions in the
nanometer range. The birth of Nanotechnology is usually associated with a talk by Nobel-prize winner Richard
Feynman entitled "There is plenty of room at the bottom", whose text may be found in [Crandall & Lewis 1992].
Nanotechnology has the potential for major scientific and practical breakthroughs. Future applications ranging
from very fast computers to self-replicating robots are described in Drexler's seminal book [Drexler 1986]. There
is no technology for the treatment of AIDS. Some of the drugs of specific composition are given to the patients
depending on the intensity of the disease. The drugs using now a days are able to increase the lifetime to a few
years only. A team of scientists from Israels Bar-Ilan University started human trials including drug-delivering
nanorobots in early 2016. The bots are made of the specially folded DNA that serves as a vessel for cancer-treating
drugs. Unlike chemotherapy and radiation therapy, which cause damage to healthy and cancerous cells alike, DNA
nanorobots attack selectively and precisely. The alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer, establishment by U.S.
National Cancer Institute, is fostering innovation and collaboration among researchers to resolve some of the
major challenges in the application of Nanotechnology to Cancer.

4.1. ADVANTAGES:
The currently available drugs can increase the patients life to a few years only, so the invention of this
nanorobot will make the patients to get rid of the disease.
As the nanorobot do not generate any harmful activities there is no side effect. It operates at specific site
only.
The initial cost of development is only high but the manufacturing by batch processing reduces the cost.
4.2. DISADVANTAGES:
The nanorobot should be very accurate, otherwise harmful effects may occur.
The initial design cost is very high.
The design of this nanorobot is a very complicated one
V. CONCLUSION
Recent advancement in the field of Nanorobotics gives the hope of the effective use of the technology in medical
field. Thus in future nanorobots will play an important role in both biological and technological field. Thus the
nanorobots in the future will be developed to cure HIV. Nanorobots are the only field that as the capability of doing
thing in invisible range. Cancer takes the first place in the research due to its effect of human life and its cost to the
economy. So, a study on different approaches was presented that has to be employed towards cancer treatment
using nanorobots. Thereby, this review focused on recent advances and technology development of nanorobots
harvesting specifically for Drug Delivery Systems application for treatment of cancer. Recent advancement in the
nanotechnology lead to this nanorobot, and it will lead to cancerless future.
