Nanorobots in Surgical Applications

Prachi Sharma

Abstract


In robotic research area, nanorobots play a more important role. There are a number of research works carrying out in medical health care sectors. Among all those research works, nanorobots mark its significant role. This article reviews recent research works and development of nanorobots basically in surgical applications. These nanorobots have major impact on disease treatment. Capabilities of these nanorobotic machines have immense potential which has been using for biomedical application.

Keywords
