| Jump ahead another two decades and we'll flood our brains with nanobots that will serve as even more sophisticated communicators and memory banks. |
| Certainly some of the nanoparticle-based technologies are near term, but nanobots that whip through our blood stream, diagnosing and curing disease? |
| Sabine Hauert, Lecturer in Swarm Robotics, University of Bristol, designs swarms of nanobots for biomedical applications. |
| But before nanobots become practical more conventional miniaturized robots will do a lot of repair work. |
| For virtual reality applications, the nanobots will take up positions next to every nerve fiber coming from all five of our senses. |
| Some feared nanomachines might convert every atom on the planet into more nanobots, leaving the entire world made of small machines. |
