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

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
