Nanorobots: The Ultimate Wireless Self‐Propelled Sensing and Actuating Devices
Abstract
Natural motor proteins, “bionanorobots,” have inspired researchers to develop artificial nanomachines (nanorobots) able to move autonomously by the conversion of chemical to mechanical energy. Such artificial nanorobots are self‐propelled by the electrochemical decomposition of the fuel (up to now, hydrogen peroxide). Several approaches have been developed to provide nanorobots with some functionality, such as for controlling their movement, increasing their power output, or transporting different cargo. In this Focus Review we will discuss the recent advances in nanorobots based on metallic nanowires, which can sense, deliver, and actuate in complex environments, looking towards real applications in the not‐too‐distant future.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
