Nanorobots yog qauv tsim qauv raws cov qauv hauv ib qib siab ntawm qib molecular los tsim thiab tsim khoom" cov haujlwm ua haujlwm molecular li" uas tuaj yeem ua haujlwm hauv nanospace, tseem hu ua neeg hlau molecular. Cov kev tshawb nrhiav thiab kev loj hlob ntawm nanorobots tau dhau los ua thaj chaw kub kub hauv hnub no' s science thiab thev naus laus zis.
Nyob rau xyoo 2005, ntau lub tebchaws tsim cov phiaj xwm sib txawv lossis npaj ib qho tom qab ib leeg, nqis peev nyiaj ntau heev los txeeb cov peev txheej siab ntawm cov thev naus laus zis tshiab ntawm nanorobots." Hlau Hnub Nyoog" Phau ntawv xov xwm txhua hli tsis ntev los no tau taw qhia: Lub peev xwm siv ntawm nano-robots yog qhov dav heev, ntawm qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws yog daim ntawv thov hauv thaj chaw kho mob thiab tub rog.
Qhov tshwm sim ntawm txhua qhov thev naus laus zis tshiab zoo li muaj peev xwm tsis kawg. Nws yuav tsis ntev ua ntej tej yam yees siv nano-robots nrog tsuas loj ntawm cov lwg me me yuav txuas ntxiv mus rau tib neeg lub neej txhua hnub. Tus kws tshaj lij ntawm Suav tus kws tshaj lij Zhou Haizhong tau kwv yees hauv nws tsab xov xwm" On Robot" luam tawm xyoo 1990 tias los ntawm nruab nrab ntawm 21st caug xyoo, nano-robots yuav hloov tag nrho tib neeg kev ua haujlwm thiab kev ua neej.
