Today we are living in the 21st century, where almost everything is being automated, to the machine so that humans, we, can live our life more efficiently and with comfort. Robots, chatbots, drones, etc. are being used in the industry. Recently, Amazon started the delivery of its products to customers via drones in Los Angeles, automobiles cooperations use robots to assemble the parts of a machine and most importantly chatbots replaced a lot of human labour. If you take a look, these all changes are done to increase efficiency, save time, and accuracy.
But one of the most important factors gets passed under our eyes which is resource reusability. Today we are developing and manufacturing thousands of hardware, materials, and tools. We cannot deploy or reuse the same material for some different work. In agriculture, some of the tools and machines are used seasonally, and for the rest of the time those are useless and which is the waste of resources, and in many other fields, the material is just bounded to specific use as per its atomic and molecular construction. The basic way or proposed idea to investigate collective swarm intelligence by “Artificial Intelligence”. We want to develop such nanobots that can transform themselves into a particular shape along with the interiors from the basic atomic level. It should construct, align itself according to the will of the user. The microchips should stack with each other to form a solid usable object. Such bots will minimize the resource wastage to an extent. These will play a significant role in automobile, agriculture, defense fields.
The physical construction of these bots will quite difficult, and will require quantitative skills. This will transform the world and lead this environment to pinnacle. Imagine, the building block of any object will be in your hand. That handful of minibots can transform, align themselves into any firm structure.
Harvard University once did an experiment by assembling 1024 bots, collectively known as KILOBOTS. This was an experiment with collective behaviors in large-scale autonomous swarms, to check collective swarm Artificial Intelligence. These bots were to able to form a star, k-shape design. This was tremendous work in this field.
Another example of great work is the robotic thread, which is recently developed by MIT engineers. This actively glides through narrow, winding pathways, such as the labyrinthine vasculature of the brain. Such inventions are leading us to a new phase. So the development of nanobots will bring a tremendous effect on this world.
