Claims13
A method for locomotion of at least one nanorobot through a biochemical environment, the method comprising:
- (a) introducing the at least one nanorobot in the biochemical environment;
- (b) inducing propulsion in the at least one nanorobot in the biochemical environment by applying a magnetic field of a strength in the range of 80-160 G;
- and
- (c) heating a localized environment around the at least one nanorobot in the biochemical environment to induce deadhesion and locomotion to the at least one nanorobot,
- wherein the heating the localized environment is carried out by a process selected from IR heating, magnetic hyperthermia carried out by application of a magnetic field having a strength in the range of 1×103 to 3×104 G oscillating at a frequency of 10 to 500 kHz, eddy current heating, radio frequency heating, or combinations thereof.
