What is Artificial Intelligence? It is largely defined as  "the study and design of intelligent agents" which for increasing its chances of success at a situation, perceives its environment. It is a major academic study in today's world. It is also a subject which has a lot of opposition.

Research in this fields includes a lot of technical and specialized skills, reasoning, knowledge, innovation and also logic. The basic claim for the development of AI is that the complex Human Intelligence of Homo Sapiens can be simulated by artificially made machinery. It also has been subject to science fiction in the form of enormous number of Novels, Movies, Short stories etc., We are in a very premature level in the development of AI, but the increase in research and experimentation has been exponential in the past decade.

Nanotechnology can be considered as the branch of technology which operates at the elemental organisation of atoms and molecules at the sub-micron scale of 1-100’s of nanometers.

Before learning about Nanotechnology it is worth noting that properties of substances at nanoscale(when smaller than wavelength of electrons) are completely different due to quantum effects. Nanotechnology has become a big gift to mankind as it has helped every part of society.we now have sophisticated tools to build, characterize and utilize structures at the nanoscale. Nano materials are fabricated atom by atom by a process called bottom-up. Nanotechnology can be applied in almost all of science fields and its most significant importance is in agriculture, industry, medicine and military. The idea behind nanotechnology mainly involves miniaturization of technology. There has been a significant improvement in the field of Nanotechnology in the past few years.

Robotics is the study of robots.It is one of the emerging branches of science. Robots are now taking the next step a giant step in becoming an intelligent aid to man.Robotics is a highly interdisciplinary field. Most of the large scale industries use assembly line robots.Industrial robotics have emerged as a popular manufacturing methodology in several areas is, including welding, materials transport, assembly, and spray finishing operations.

The term "nano-technology" had been introduced by the Tokyo Science University Professor Norio Taniguchi  in1974 to describe the precision manufacture of materials with nanometer tolerances

Modern robots are used in a number of industries,ranging from medicine to manufacturing.Robots are capable of such precision that they are used in modern medicine as aids to surgeons. Human beings program medical robots to make incisions at particular sites and depths.

Will nanotech be good or bad for peace and security?

It could be very bad. Molecular manufacturing will function as a force multiplier for any military that possesses it. First strike options may be seen as more viable than before. The small size, portability, and rapid potential for proliferation will make nano-built weaponry difficult to control and hard to keep out of the hands of terrorists

Nanotechnology has been identified as essential in solving many of the problems facing humanity. Specifically, it is the key to addressing the Foresight Nanotech Challenges:

1. Providing Renewable Clean Energy
2. Supplying Clean Water Globally
3. Improving Health and Longevity
4. Healing and Preserving the Environment
5. Making Information Technology Available To All
6. Enabling Space Development

- Faster - Lighter - Can get into small spaces - Cheaper - More energy efficient - Less waste products, and uses less energy and materials to produce - Different properties at very small scale

What is robotics?

Robotics is the science and technology behind the design, manufacturing and application of robots.It is the field of computer science and engineering concerned with creating robots, devices that can move and react to sensory input. 

The history of robots has its origins in the ancient world. The modern concept began to be developed with the onset of the industrial revolution which allowed for the use of complex mechanics and the subsequent introduction of electricity.

How does robotics help us?

Robots are useful because they can do many things that humans can't  do. They can perform repetitive work and other tasks that may be dangerous for humans to do. Since they areprogrammable, manufacturing robots work faster and with greater precision than human beings.

Artificial Intelligence is of great use in every possible field of science. Development of AI can lead to a machine led surgery in critical cases and also can provide medical assistance at places there might be a human error possible, owing to a great progress in medical science. It can also be used in human protection, making the world a safer place. It also has further applications in research, in harsh conditions where humans cant survive. It can also be misused in hands of certain group of people. The case where the artificially made machinery becomes so aware that it overthrows its creator for self survival is a daunting possible outcome, which has inspired writers , novelists for their works.

The research in field of AI was started in the summer of 1956 on the campus of Dartmouth College, which had people like John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Allen Newell and Herbert Simon. These were the leaders in AI research for many decades. They made computer programs solve checkers, algebraic problems and also speak English. From then on research in Artificial Intelligence increased in an exponential rate year by year. Even though it faced few problems like the '' AI Winter" which lasted for a few years after 1974, AI has always been a topic of great interest to all sorts of people.

John McCarthy is an American computer scientist and a cognitive scientist. He was the one who coined the term ''Artificial Intelligence''. He was one of the members of the conference, where research in AI was founded.He developed the Lisp programming language family, significantly influenced the design of the ALGOL programming language.

Tejesh - Your last question has to be complete.

Please format a single questioner. Give a brief description to the reader as to why you are collecting the information. And then get basic details like age, sex, DoB.

Tactile sensing:Tactile sensing uses simple switches routinely to detect the presence or absence of objects.

Manipulator:It  consists  of  the  base  and  arm  of  the robot, including the power supply, which may be electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic. The  manipulator is the  device  that provides  movement  in  any  number  of  degrees  of  freedom.

Controller:  The  controller  contains  various  interfaces  with both  command  devices  and  sensing  units.  The  controller has  to  define  the  trajectory  of  the  robot  gripper  with  time and  transform  this  trajectory,  which  is  in  Cartesian coordinates,  into  its  base-frame  coordinate  system  and finally into joint movements.

Cognitive system:A cognitive system should be defined by its capability of finding the relationship of some or all the information coming from its inputs (sensors) in order to generate the best (internal or external) outputs after comparing this information with previously "memorized" input-output patterns.

visual modality: It is the ability to see; the visual faculty.

Monotonous: It means lacking in variety; Sounded or spoken in an unvarying tone.

Microcomputers:A microcomputer is a small, relatively inexpensive computer with a microprocessor as its central processing unit (CPU). It includes a microprocessor, memory, and input/output (I/O) facilities.

Robots are increasingly used in manufacturing .

One of the applications that could be implemented is accomplishment of factories with fully automated robots.Though the initial cost of industrial manufacturing robot can seem high but there are many benefits of it. Robots work long hours and handle heavy objects without getting tired or making mistakes, leading to improved quality. Robots help achieve higher production quality at a reduced operating cost compared to manual manufacturing.This application seems to be feasible.

1) Medical and Health Care: 

Our idea is to integrate our topics and apply it to improve medical and health care. Using Nanotechnology and Artificial Intelligence, Intelligent agents in the size of a cell can be made which can be introduced into a subject. These agents are so coded to detect and identify antigen proteins on the surface of Viruses and Bacteria. The information about the antigen protein entered is now sent to a production facility, where integrating Robotics and AI, Agents produced on a larger scale try out different permutations of atoms and molecules in simulations to give a specific output molecule which after experimentation by can react and neutralize the antigens and these can be introduced onto the surface of the virus or bacteria by the nano sized agents previously introduced. The idea seems far fetched taking into consideration the present advancements in the respective fields but it is achievable considering the exponential growth in the fields in the recent times.

Our idea may seem to be a part of a futuristic world, but it is possible. The problem that comes into play is the expenditure required to make such a breakthrough in all the fields. Nanotechnology and Robotics are the fields whose research budgets are extremely high. But keeping in the outcome that comes as a result of the research, it is sure worth it. Also with a good enough program to create an intelligent agent for this purpose will give a boost to the research of Nanotechnology and Robotics so as to meet the aforementioned result. Because medical and healthcare is of utmost concern in the present world which is at brink of outbreak of new harmful microorganisms and epidemics. 

Our Idea is feasible as it also reduces the extremely high cost of treatment for dangerous and deadly diseases, also considering the high budget involved in the research of it.

3) Advantages:

This application is effective in identifying and and neutralizing the foreign viruses or bacteria at a faster pace and also for protecting the body from a virus for which our body doesn't have an available antibody. This will bring a new revolution in medicine. It also reduces the hazards of certain researches towards humans. For neutralizing viruses such as HIV which with the help of an enzyme changes the shape and antigen on itself, these agents which can rapidly sense and create chemicals for countering them are of much importance. This will reduce the

Medicine

Researchers are developing customized nano-particles the size of molecules that can deliver drugs directly to diseased cells in your body. 

Electronics

by using nano-particles we can increase the capabilities of electronics devices while we reduce their weight and power consumption.

Fuel cells

we could use nano-engineered membranes to catalytic processes for improving efficiency of small-scale fuel cells

chemical sensors

Nanotechnology can enable sensors to detect very small amounts of chemical vapors. Various types of detecting elements, such as carbon nano-tubes, zinc oxide nano-wires or palladium nano-particles can be used in nanotechnology-based sensors.

purification of water

Nano-particles can convert the contaminated water through a chemical reaction to make it harmless. Studies have shown that this method can be used successfully to reach contaminates dispersed in underground ponds and at much lower cost than methods which require pumping the water out of the ground for treatment

artificial muscles

When a carbon nano-tube is dipped into charged solution, it absorbs ions, expanding and coilling up. And when it releases those ions, it uncoils in the other direction, stretching out. This action emulates the action of a muscle
