  ya i think it is useful
  but i think there are already using these techniques in cancer and other diseases correct me if i am wrong

  i know that there are lots of research on it, like the Israel nano robot. but its all in proto type and theres still a lot of work that will be needed. i know that nano robot is very popular because of it size but is it really possible to make an efficient nano robot? even in macroscopically we barely have a good automatics robot. But as an engineer the word impossible is not in my vocabulary so maybe one day.

  take a look at this video on their techniques on nano robotic.

  [h=1]Untethered Helical Swimming Microrobot[/h]A number of robotic swimming methods have been proposed at relatively small scales. Because many of these methods rely on reciprocating motions, they do not scale downwards. Yet over three billion years ago bacteria evolved a swimming strategy at micrometer dimensions that nature has had difficulty improving upon. Just over thirty-five years ago their swimming technique using rotating flagella was first described by H.C. Berg and R.A. Anderson (Nature vol. 245, pp. 380-382, 1973). Inspired by the flagellar motion of bacteria such as Escherichia Coli (see video 4), we have recently developed artificial bacterial flagella (ABF). Our ABF represent the first demonstration of wireless swimming microrobots similar in size and geometry to natural bacterial flagella, and are many orders of magnitude smaller than existing artificial helical swimmers.

  i though this was a really neat experiment.
