Abstract
Till now, various models of the motion of nanobots have been submitted; the pioneer models, in spite of being exact in mathematics, had their own kind of problems. The most recent challenge is to describe a model whose attitude can be practical so that these motions can be estimated. Considering the massive uses of nanobots, the kinds of motions and velocities of these very small robots need to be studied in a more accurate way. In this essay, we tried to develop a three-dimensional model. The three dimensional model is based on 7 spheres and 6 arms and describes a kind of movement requiring 2 spheres at each arm. The velocity of each kind has also been evaluated. Furthermore, two kinds of three-dimensional movements have been issued and compared as well. That will result in the simplicity of the equations. By applying Oseen’s approximation in the Stokes’ equation, the velocity in various media has been calculated and modulated.
