Abstract

The current and future technologies and issues of micro- and nanomechatronics, and nanobiotechnology based on the nanorobotic manipulation system are presented. The following are also discussed in detail: micromechatronics for industrial and research applications; nanomechatronics for industrial and research applications; single-cell surgery system based on the nanorobotic manipulation system; nanorobotic manipulation system; and single-cell analysis based on an environmental scanning electron microscope (E-SEM). Devices based on micro- and nanomechatronics technologies have great potential in advanced industrial applications that will realize high efficiency, high integration, high functionality, low-energy consumption, and low cost.
