The development of artificial devices (nanobots), working as blood white cells but addressed to the recognition and eventually the destruction of endogenous pathological states, is an ambitious goal. Swarm intelligence can be a key element to successfully tackle the challenges posed by this goal. Here we describe an applicative scenario, based on swarm of nanobots, by sketching the environment in which the nanobots operate, the constraints related to their physical implementation, and the tasks they have to tackle. In this scenario, we propose to use collisions between nanorobots as a way of communication inside the swarm. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Abstract
The development of artificial devices (nanobots), working as blood white cells but addressed to the recognition and eventually the destruction of endogenous pathological states, is an ambitious goal. Swarm intelligence can be a key element to successfully tackle the challenges posed by this goal. Here we describe an applicative scenario, based on swarm of nanobots, by sketching the environment in which the nanobots operate, the constraints related to their physical implementation, and the tasks they have to tackle. In this scenario, we propose to use collisions between nanorobots as a way of communication inside the swarm. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
