The IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology (TNANO) seeks original manuscripts for a Special Section on: “Micro/Nanorobotics and its biomedical applications”

Micro/nanorobotics is an emerging field of developing robotic devices to perform tasks (e.g., actuation, sensing, manipulation, propulsion, signaling, information processing, intelligence, and swarm behaviors) at the micro/nano scale. Micro/nanorobotic systems can themselves be miniature in size (often called micro/nanorobot), or they may be designed to interact with micro/nano-sized matters (often called micro/nanomanipulator). In the past decade, the huge achievements of micro/nanorobotics are realizing the dream described in the film Fantastic Voyage and show the extraordinary potentials for advancing biomedicine (e.g., drug delivery, precision surgery, medical diagnostics, and targeted therapy), significantly offering novel possibilities for bridging biomedicine and robotics.

This special issue covers the important and influential topics of micro/nanorobotics (including micro/nanorobots and micro/nanomanipulators) and its biomedical applications. Additionally, the potential and valuable directions of further research will be addressed. The guest editors look forward to collecting a set of recent advances in the related topics, to provide a platform for bridging researchers associated with micro/nanorobotics from multidisciplinary fields including engineering, information, biomedicine, materials, chemistry, and physics.

Relevant topics of interest to this special section include (but are not limited to):

• Micro/Nanorobots and micro/nanomanipulators
• Micro/Nanorobotics, nanotechnology, MEMS and automation
• Novel concepts, materials, fabrications, and designs for micro/nanorobotics
• Novel sensing, actuation and control techniques/theories for micro/nanorobotics
• In vivo and in vitro biomedical applications of micro/nanorobots
• Applications of micro/nanomanipulators for biological characterizations, manipulations, and measurements
