This is a fun read and a fairly good introduction to the potential of medical nanobots :

Cool article. These things are not really nanobots, in the Drexler sense; they should probably be called microbots. They are not working at molecular scales, but rather are just very miniaturized conventional robots.

I wish the people heading the research in nanotechnology would standardize a general name for nanoscale robots. I mean in this article they call nanoscale robots nanorobots. I've seen them called nanites, nanorobots, nanobots, anthrocytes ect. It just seems that if we have a goal of producing nanoscale robots, that we should at least categorize a general name for them.
