  1. Nanosteroids By Joman Chu COSMOS Cluster 2 Engineering the Future: Robotics, Nanotechnology

  2. What are Nanosteroids? • Not Chemical Steroids • Intelligent Nanorobots • Diamond Age’s Nanostimulators

  3. Why would we use it? • Strength • Bodybuilding Increase Muscle Mass http://www.tfeagle.army.mil/tfetalon/PhotoGallery/TalonPhotos/Oct10/images/Weight%20lifting%201.gif Alexander Danielsson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Dsc0047.JPG)

  5. How do muscles work? http://occawlonline.pearsoned.com/bookbind/pubbooks/ campbell6e_awl/medialib/assets/interactivemedia/ activities/H49/H4904/st01/H490401.swf

  6. How do muscles grow? • Resistance Training • Creates small tears in the muscle fiber • Overcompensation in repairs leads to more sacromeres • Nanobot • Needs to create small tears http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Skeletal_muscle.jpg

  7. Requirements for Muscle Building Nanobot • Size: < 5 microns • Cutting tool • Communication • Special Program • Differentiate between other cells and muscle cells

  8. Nanorobots and Bodybuilding • Objective: “develop and maintain an aesthetically pleasing body and balanced physique” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bodybuilding) • Special program

  9. Advantages and Disadvantages • Advantages • Larger muscles from no work at all • Disadvantages • Intense soreness • Loss of other advantages to exercise

  10. Legal Implications • Steriods Trafficking Act of 1990 • Cheating • Harmful Side Effects • Nanorobots • Sidesteps harmful side effects • Still Cheating
