Patients suffer from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) because the debris of damaged lungs occupies the alveolus. To remove the debris, medical nanorobots can be employed to clean the blocked respiratory path. Currently, medical nanorobots are investigated to fight diseases by assuming to work inside human bodies. They can be in various forms (plate, particles, tubes, wires) and powered by acid, liquid, magnetic field, or ultrasound wave. The nanorobots motorized by various powers are good candidates in the near future. In addition, the complexity inside the human body suggests that the power sources involving the human-body itself (acid or liquid) are not so reliable. So, the external power source should be a reasonable solution to improve the robustness of the nanorobots. Currently, the common external power sources include magnetic and ultrasound, and after comparing their other applications, the magnetic power is better for fighting disease. Hence, the magnetic is selected to power nanorobot here. The proposed project will focus on the optimization of the excitation mechanism, and real-time analysis and control of the electromagnetic field in order to find an efficient way to remove the debris in the patients’ lungs.
