Nano-robot

Nanotechnology can best be defined as a description of activities at the level of atoms and molecules that have applications in the real world. A nano meter is a billionth of a meter, that is, about 1/80,000 of the diameter of a human hair, or 10 times the diameter of a hydrogen atom.

Nanotechnology refers to the science and engineering activities at the level of atoms and molecules.

Nano-robots are the robots that are simply known as those controllable machines at the nano meter or molecular scale, composed of nano-components. Nanorobots would constitute any “smart” structure capable of actuation, sensing, signaling, information processing, intelligence, manipulation and swarm behavior at nano scale.

More specifically, nano robotics refer to the still largely hypothetical nanotechnology engineering discipline of designing and building nano robots. Nanorobots are designed to perform a specific task with precision at nanoscale dimensions.

Assembly and realization of nano-robots depend on the principles of molecular nanotechnology and mechanosynthetic chemistry. Nanorobots are programmable assemblies of nanometer scale components constructed by manipulating macro/micro devices or by self-assembly on pre-programmed templates or scaffolds.

Nanorobots have chemical sensors which detect the target molecules. As a response they would emit a power signal proportional to the detected amount. This signal would arrive to a programmed microprocessor which controls the direction and velocity of the nanorobot.

Nanorobots need energy to carry out different manipulations such as propulsion, force, actuation, communication or any other activity in the biological system at nano-scale. This energy can be generated by natural (biological) or artificial (chemical) entities known as molecular motors, which when perform at nano-scale are known as Nanomachines.

Nanorobotics provides novel techniques for exploring the biodomain by manipulation and characterization of nanoscale objects such as cellular membranes, DNA and other biomolecules. Nano tools, sensors and actuators can provide measurements and/or movements that are calculated in nanometers, gigahertz, piconewtons, femtograms, etc., and are promising for molecular machines and bio- and nanorobotics applications.

Business concept of E-Business

E-business enables the market to become global. The well-known yellow pages are becoming electronic directories. E-business does involve implementing new systems and technology, which is a minor but important part of the puzzle.

E-business is about conducting the business both internally and/or externally by electronic means, e.g. over the internet, intranet or extranet. In involves not only buying and selling, but also operating automated, efficient internal business processes servicing customers and collaborating with the suppliers and business partners.

E-business impacts the technology, processes, organization, and management of the organization. These statements have strong implications for carrying out a successful e-business effort.

*Politics is an important part of e-business implementation. Nobody can ignore it or sweep it under the rug. It is there because e-business has such far-ranging impacts. E-business alters the power structure of departments and the entire organization.

*The culture of the society, organization and environment is an important factor in e-business because we are dealing with customers, suppliers and employees.

*Information technology (IT) has a major role that goes beyond systems work. Information technology is the only group that spans the organization and addresses the technology. Information technology must have a central role in e-business implementation.

Conducting business electronically is a change from traditional ways of doing things, leading to large scale transformation of existing business. To attain business efficiencies from e-business, it is imperative that organization effectively manage the e-business environment, and all associated changes to digitize and maintain the environment.
