Inspired by theories of molecular nano technology (MNT), the replicating nanobots would build communicating system from the “bottom up.” In his 1959 speech There is Plenty of Room at the bottom, physicist Richard Feynman considered the possibility of manipulation of matters at an atomic scale. (i.e. the possibility of denser computer circuitry at a microscopic scale.) He suggested the possibility of building a tiny, swallowable surgical robot or tiny motor by culminating perhaps a billion tiny factories recursively to achieve massive parallel operations. Eric Drexler advanced Feynman’s concepts in his book Engines of Creation. He advocates the use of molecular machinery that builds atom to atom for large-scale fabrication.
It is also important to note the dangers of such self-replicating system. In the same book, Drexler also warns us against the “Grey goo scenario” in which hypothetical end-of-the-world scenario involving molecular nanotechnology – out-of-control self-replicating robots consume all living matter on Earth while building more of themselves
The swarms of nanobots work together to build a communication system, other complex mechanical components of the cyborgs as well building additional nanobots from an atomic scale.
Inspired by mythological creatures, the cyborg would have wings, retractable wheels as well as fins to allow for its land/water/air compatibility.
