Abstract

The invention describes a system for collective nanorobotics (CNRs) for electronics applications. CNRs are used to selectively activate electronics devices and remote devices and to target objects in sensor networks. A method of delivering CNRs in aerosol form is specified. The CNRs use reaggregation methods to restructure their shapes on-demand for improved material resistance capabilities.

Claims

1. A system for managing automated collective nanorobots (CNRs),

comprising:

A plurality of nanorobots, each nanorobot including program code configured to communicate and exchange information with other nanorobots;

Wherein the nanorobots in the collective are configured to track each other;

Wherein the nanorobots are mobile;

Wherein the nanorobot sensors feed data sets to the main collective;

Wherein the CNRs compare relative priorities and seek to optimize its goals by activating electronic devices on demand;

Wherein the electronic devices include munitions; and

Wherein the CNRs access a solar energy source for continuous activity.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein:

The CNRs are deployed to mark a specific location; and

The specific marked location is targeted for destruction by weapons.

3. A system for managing automated collective nanorobots (CNRs), comprising:

A plurality of nanorobots, each nanorobot including program code configured to communicate and exchange information with other nanorobots;

Wherein CNRs are used for collective nanobiodynotics to autonomously transform the structural configuration of the combined collective to promote concealment;

Wherein a system of intelligent ubiquitous munitions is deployed by engaging the CNRs to blanket a region but detonate explosives autonomously on demand when a specific programmed threshold is satisfied;

Wherein the amount of munitions deployed is limited to the extent of the threat in the specific region;

Wherein the CNRs are organized to lie inert before they are activated by an external source; and

Wherein the external source of activation is a laser, a preset temperature or a communication signal.

4. A system for managing automated collective nanorobots (CNRs),

comprising:

A plurality of nanorobots, each nanorobot including program code configured to communicate and exchange information with other nanorobots;

Wherein CNRs are used on the surface of polymers configured in sheets;

Wherein the CNRs change their physical structure on demand to create impervious and adaptive shielding;

Wherein the CNRs are activated to change their physical structure by responding to a signal that signifies a threat; and

Wherein the CNRs reaggregate their structure from a soft state to a solid state when activated.
