The nanorobot control design (NCD) software
is a system designed to serve as a test bed for nanorobot 3-D prototyping.
Simulation using 3-D modeling can provide interactive tools for analyzing
nanorobot design choices, including decisions related to sensors,
architectural design, manufacturing, and control methodology. “The numerical and advanced simulations
provided a better understanding of how nanorobots should interact and be
controlled inside the human body; hence, based on such information, we have
proposed innovative hardware architecture with a nanorobot model for use in
common medical applications,” Cavalcanti says. “The proposed platform should
enable virtual patient pervasive monitoring, as well as precise diagnosis and
smart drug delivery for cancer therapy.” — Daniel Grace, Medical Product Manufacturing
News, Canon, March 22, 2008.
A precise simulation system can help
researchers understand the performance requirements for practical nanorobots,
even before the technologies exist. Cavalcanti: “The software NCD (nanorobot
control design) is a system implemented to serve as a test bed for nanorobot
3D prototyping, serving as a fast development platform for medical nanorobots
investigation, the NCD simulations show how to interact and control a
nanorobot inside the body. It is an advanced nanomechatronics simulator that
provides physical and numerical information for nanorobot task-based
modeling. Serving as a fast development platform for medical nanorobots
investigation, the NCD simulations show how to interact and control a
nanorobot inside the body.” — Lisa Zyga, Science Physics Tech Nano News,
PhysOrg, December 05, 2007.
What is the NCD simulator? Cavalcanti: “The NCD is software comprising
several modules that simulate the physical conditions, run the nanorobot
control programs determining their actions, provide a visual display of the
environment in 3D, and record the history of nanorobot behaviors for later
analysis.” — Jane Salodof MacNeil, Nanobiotech News,
September 8, 2004.
