The document discusses nano-robotics and summarizes the following key points:
1. Nano-robotics involves creating machines or robots at the nano-scale of 1 to 100 nanometers and research began in the late 1980s.
2. Potential applications of nano-robots include removing arterial deposits, treating tumors, breaking up kidney stones, and breaking up blood clots.
3. Nano-robots could consist of molecular sorting rotors, propellers, fins, and sensors and be used for medical treatments, space exploration, and manufacturing at the atomic level.
