This work investigates how nanomaterials can provide key advances for emerging soft robotic actuators and sensor technologies. Nanorobotics is still an overwhelmingly theoretical research area, as technology has not yet advanced to the point of being able to do more than demonstrate fundamental principles and build simple systems. Through using these unique properties of nanocomposites, the researchers seek to make better and more precise robotic systems. For example, nanomaterial-driven nanobots like nanoparticle-embedded hydrogels (i.e., nanogels) demonstrate the ability to convert heat, light, and pH stimuli into work, which enables novel actuator systems. It focuses on the use of nanomaterials and their synergistic effects such as graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNT), and capsule materials including gels for advancements in the sensitivity and functionality of robotic platforms. The advances lay the groundwork for innovations in material science, precision surgery, and strong artificial muscles. The integration of these technologies in prosthetics allows them to be controlled and operated with much more accuracy, hence increasing amputees' standard of life. In addition, obstacles to incorporating such nanomaterials into present-day family robots, including scalability, environmental survivability, and effectiveness, are summarized in this paper. Outside of medical contexts, the study also has implications for manufacturing and space exploration—as we delve deeper into exploring other worlds in our solar system (and possibly beyond), nanobots with high-tech robotic sensory systems offer levels of precision, durability, and environmental monitoring unlike any devices currently available.
