The term nanorobot is at home in the fields of nanotechnology, robotics and digital transformation. Nanorobots are tiny machines that are often only a few millionths of a millimetre in size. They are developed using state-of-the-art technology and are much smaller than a grain of sand.
Thanks to such technology, nanorobots can take on tasks that were previously impossible. Researchers have high hopes for them, particularly in medicine: Nanorobots could, for example, swim through our bloodstream and specifically recognise diseased cells and deliver medication directly to the right place. This could make treatments more effective and gentler than with conventional methods.
An illustrative example: Imagine someone has a blocked blood vessel. In the future, nanorobots could open this vessel by working like tiny craftsmen exactly where the problem lies.
Nanorobots could also be useful outside of medicine, for example in cleaning polluted water sources. Their work is practically invisible, but has a huge impact. Nanorobots are an exciting topic for the future and could revolutionise many areas of life.
