Abstract: |
The new methods of diagnosis
are often more sensitive and speed up its process allowing for a more
effective treatment. Yet they need to be carefully tested before they can be
used in practice. The paper concerns the problems of developing nanorobots, which would circulate in the bloodstream of the
human body gathering information about its condition. Simulation of these new
ways of diagnosis is the main motivation behind the presented work.
Introduction of such nanorobots into the
bloodstream puts several requirements on their mechanical properties. Thus,
our first goal is to build a model to simulate the blood flow with nanorobots present in the capillary vessels and
medium-sized blood vessels. We split it into two separate initial models and
implementations. The first one is a simulation of the blood flow using particlebased methods in order to determine the
appropriate mechanical parameters of nanorobots and
verify their behavior. The second one is a multi-agent simulation that will
allow to evaluate the usefulness of the data
collected and prototype the system performing functions of nanorobots within the specified constraints. |
