Electronic cell-sized nanobots can sense their environment, store data. Thoughts health innovators?

Nanorobotics is the development of machines or robots whose components are on the scale of a nanometre.  Theoretical discussion of nanobots, involve specific design issues such as sensing, power communication, navigation, manipulation, locomotion, and onboard computation. However, some of these hypotheses remain at the planning stage, with engineering not able to miniaturize technologies needed. …
