Abstract

We present an approach to control the machines at the nano-meter or molecular scale (10-9 meter) in the perspective of the theory of cybernetics, the science of control, communication and computation with integration to complex man -- machines systems. Though our theory is general, on study we concentrate on nano-robot design and control by describing various molecular level systems. We discuss the method of special autonomous robotic systems that can be used for bio-medical and bio-mechanical purposes. We also present a theory of nano scale self assembly for prototyping bio-nano systems with the goal of implementing their internal optimum movements in biological environment to perform manipulation of nano-medicine specially for cancer treatment. The system casualty, state notation and automata for nano-robotic systems in the light of general systems theory are suggested.
