The technology of creating machines or robots below the size of 1 micrometer (less then 1000nm) Also see "nanite"
Nanorobotics is not necessarily a subset of nanotechnology: Nanorobotics can also include attempts to miniaturize robots or machines to any size (smaller then existing models of course) the development of robots the size of insects, lizards and cells would all count under the field of Nanorobotics.
