Abstract :
This paper presents an innovative hardware architecture for medical use of nanorobots proposed as an advanced and precise tool for brain aneurysm instrumentation and diagnosis. The feasibility of the outlined architecture is supported by nanobioelectronics, clinical data, and wireless technologies, as embedded integrated system devices for molecular machine data transmission and control upload. The upcoming therapeutic possibility of using nanorobots for aneurysm treatments is the natural result from some recent developments and trends in nanoelectronics, wireless communication, remote power transmission, quantum dots, nanotubes, SOI, lithography, biomedical instrumentation, genome mapping, and photonics. To illustrate the proposed approach, we applied advanced 3D simulation techniques as a practical choice on methodology for medical nanorobotics architecture and integrated system prototyping.
