Chapter 212: New direction of robot research and development

After He Tian Mingli discussed other things in the company, Lei Tiantang returned to his office. During this time, besides learning computer knowledge, he did not let go of his knowledge about robots, although Kuafu has already given what he currently needs. The robots are all done, but this is the company's first generation robot after all. The next generation of robot research and development still needs to be prepared in advance. It is impossible to use a generation of robots for 5 years and 10 years.
And when he was researching new materials, he also had a new idea. The concept of nanorobots has been hyped internationally before, but now it is only a certain concept in the laboratory. Some laboratories can indeed produce trace amounts of nanometers. Robots, but basically do not have any practical value, because of imperfect functions, high production conditions and other reasons, it is very early for nano-robots to be applied.
"Nanorobot" is an emerging technology in robotics. The development of nanorobots belongs to the category of "molecular nanotechnology (MNT. It designs prototypes based on biological principles at the molecular level, and can be designed and manufactured. "Functional molecular devices" that operate in nanospace.
The idea of ​​nanobiology is to apply biological principles on the nanoscale, discover new phenomena, and develop programmable molecular robots, also called nanorobots. The content involved can be summarized into the following 4 aspects:
1. Understand the fine structure of biological macromolecules and their relationship with functions on the nanoscale.
2. Obtain life information on the nanoscale, for example, use scanning tunneling microscope to obtain structural information on cell membranes and cell surfaces.
3. Development of nano robots. Nanorobots are the most attractive content in nanobiology. The first generation of nanorobots is an organic combination of biological and mechanical systems. This kind of nanorobots can be injected into human blood vessels for health check and disease treatment. It can also be used to repair human organs, perform cosmetic surgery, remove harmful DNA from genes, or install normal DNA in genes to make the body function normally
. The second-generation nanorobots are directly assembled from atoms or molecules into nano-scale molecular devices with specific functions. The third-generation nanorobots will include nanocomputers, which are devices that can conduct human-machine dialogue.
4. Nano-scale adjustment to kill mutated cancerous cells, through the guidance of external lasers, accurate calculations to find cancerous cells with excessive radiation, use advanced biological cell lysis technology to dissolve the diseased cells into chemical molecular elements, and pass specific sensor systems After precise verification, the cell components are successfully entered into healthy cells, completing the conversion between necrotic cells and successful healthy cells.
Of course, mainstream scientists are basically concerned about the medical use of nanorobots, but Lei Tiantang feels that the future uses of nanorobots can be used in any aspect, and can almost open the door of any technology like a master key!
Nano robots can be used to form a variety of structures, such as deformable cars, armors, weapons, daily necessities, etc. These complete or partial structures are manufactured by nano robots and can repair themselves, even if they are damaged, they can be absorbed by nano robots. Materials, and then copy themselves to make them look new.
In particular, the repair ability of nanorobots is most valued by Lei Tiantang. It can repair the damage of various materials at the micro level by absorbing materials. This feature is even more important in cosmic navigation. You must know that a spacecraft is in the universe. It is impossible to sail smoothly in the middle of the road, and there will always be situations such as asteroid impact, radiation corrosion, and wear and tear of hull materials.
It is impossible to carry various parts production equipment on the spacecraft to produce parts for maintenance of the spacecraft, and it is impossible to carry many duplicate parts to ensure the maintenance of the spacecraft. Therefore, the maintenance work on the spacecraft in the future may only use 3D printed parts. It can be replaced, or the use of nano robots can be used to repair the damage of the parts to achieve the purpose of extending the use time of the parts.
Therefore, the research of nano-robots is imperative. Although as long as the nano-robots are designed, he can use absolute domains to make them. But again, the things he makes can only be personal behaviors, and use them by himself. There is no problem, but if you want him to mass production, it will be impossible.
Therefore, Lei Tiantang can only conduct research on the first generation of nano-robots. After all, the current scientific production equipment is still far from being used to produce nano-robots. The problem of equipment is also one of the reasons that trouble him. Isn't it a silly scientist who plays gangsters like that?
Nowadays, when some scientists design certain models, they don’t even consider whether they can be produced. Instead, they design them directly, and then throw them away. Anyway, I designed them. If you can’t produce it, it’s not my problem. If you can’t produce it now, you can still produce it. If I design it, I can be considered worthy of your investment. There are still many people who hold such rogue ideas.
Another area that bothers him is the security issue~EbookFREE.me~ You know, nanorobots must use a large number of nanomachines to perform any task, including self-replication.
There may be millions of nano-robots in the blood; trillions of nano-robots may be needed in every toxic waste site, and it may be necessary to mobilize tens of billions of nano-robots to work at the same time to build a car. However, no production line can produce such a huge number of nanorobots.
So the self-perfect replication function of nano-robots is a function they must have, but what happens if nano-robots forget to stop copying?
If there are no built-in stop signals and nanobots forget to stop copying, the possible consequences of this disaster will be impossible to calculate. Nanorobots replicate rapidly in the human body and can fill normal tissues faster than cancer can spread; a crazy food-making robot can turn the entire biosphere of the earth into a giant piece of cheese.
Such a dangerous situation will definitely arise. After all, everyone understands the ability of human beings to kill themselves. He needs to pay special attention to how to control these dangerous situations, otherwise the robots designed and manufactured by himself will be used by people. Destroying or launching a terrorist attack, etc., are completely contrary to his original intention, so there must be a way to control them!
