Nanoscale robots, also known as nanobots, are microscopic robots that measure between 1 and 100 nanometers in size. They are made of tiny components such as sensors, actuators, motors, and control systems that allow them to perform complex tasks, such as self-navigation and manipulation of objects. Nanobots are capable of performing tasks that are too small or too difficult for humans, such as cleaning up environmental pollutants or accessing hard-to-reach areas inside the human body.

Perception Robotics develops touch- and vision-based sensing solutions for modern industrial robots and next-generation assistive robots. Their compliant rubber tactile sensors (“skin”) give robots a sense of touch, equipping automation systems with robust material handling capabilities their gecko-inspired gripper integrates nanoscale “hairs” with electrostatics to enable efficient on/off adhesion for handling flat objects.

Nano3DSense sensors enable label-free immunoassays and detection of biomoleculessuch as antibodies and proteins with previously unimagined precision. Nano3dSense is a revolutionary medical sensors technology for unmatched precision and flexibility. Whether for medical implants and catheters in the human body or biosensors for point of care implementations for the label free and fast diagnosis of disease biomarkers .

The Center of Excellence in Nanoelectronics and Nanotechnology (CENN) at College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, Albany NanoTech complex is a fully-integrated technology deployment, product prototyping, manufacturing support, and workforce training resource for emerging generations of integrated circuitry (IC). Its targeted portfolio of nanoelectronics-based products ranges from emerging microprocessor and memory computer chips with higher functionality and complexity, to the rapidly evolving areas of micro- and nanosystem based "systems-on-a-chip" (SOC) technologies, including biochips, optoelectronics and photonics devices, and nanosensors for the energy and the environment.

Microchip Biotechnologies, Inc. (MBI) is dedicated to providing integrated systems enabling reliable microsample preparation and analysis for the life sciences. Sample preparation processes tend to be complex and expensive, and researchers must choose to use very manual procedures or expensive, large robotic systems. In addition there is a fundamental mismatch between the volume real world samples present in (as large as 10 ml/ 10-2 liters) and the volumes used by modern analytical instrumentation (as little as 10-9 liters). This mismatch wastes large amounts of expensive consumables and precious samples. MBI is developing technologies aimed at simplifying sample preparation, addressing the issue of volume scale and ultimately developing complete 'sample-to-answer' solutions with a much smaller footprint than is available today.

The Company has proprietary technology to scale large sample volumes to efficient nanoscale solutions that will ultimately reduce labor costs, increase reliability, and provide major savings in highly expensive reagents and scarce samples.

Microchip Biotechnologies was incorporated in July, 2003 and is located in Pleasanton, California.

Oxonica Plc engages in the development and commercialization of advanced nanomaterials UV protection, security, and biodiagnostics applications. It also engages in the development, sale, marketing, and supply of fuel additive products. The company offers ENVIROX fuel combustion catalyst, a diesel fuel additive that reduces fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and other harmful exhaust emissions; and OPTISOL UV absorber, which provides spectrum protection for personal care products. It also provides SOLACOR, a UV absorber for plastics, polymers, coatings, and textile applications; and NANOPLEX biomarker detection platform that enables the detection of various disease markers, providing clinical laboratory performance and real time information at the point of care. In addition, the company offers brand protection and anti-counterfeiting solutions, as well as Sol-ID taggants, a series of nanoscale optical labels that generate fingerprint-like signatures. Oxonica Plc is headquartered in Kidlington, the United Kingdom.

FemtoTools develops and sells high resolution, MEMS-based nanoindenters. Company uses semiconductor fabrication technology to monolithically machine the entire force sensor out of single crystalline silicon wafers. Due to the small size of the sensing element, its weight is orders of magnitude smaller than conventional technologies.
