Catalytic self-propelled nanomotors
as the basis of the element base for the design
of nanomechatronic devices and systems
for bionanomachines in bionanorobotics
Abstract:
To solve applied problems of bionanorobotics, one needs an element base of nanomechatronic devices
and systems consisting of nanostructured components with the necessary functional properties. The paper
discusses the properties of synthetic catalytic self-propelled nanomotors (CSPNM) and evaluates their applicability in nanomechatronics. The compliance of CSPNM with the mechatronics paradigm on the signs
“effort, movement, signal” is established and they are proposed to be used to implement the low level of
bionanorobotic cognitive information and communication system (CICS) for the microscale, the fabricator
of the starting configuration of the basic bionanorobotic technological cycle.
