如果对纳米技术的希望成真，那么我们可能会看到新型高通量工厂的出现，这些工厂专门设计用于在纳米尺度上运行，并被称为纳米工厂。预测这种纳米工厂的确切形状和各种成分是一项非常困难的任务。本文描述了一个平台，我们相信它可能是许多未来纳米工厂的基础。该平台基于一系列配置为微型自主机器人的科学仪器，每个机器人都能够在分子尺度上快速操作。所提出的方法进行了简要比较，其他方法和这样一个平台的最终版本的一般描述也提供。
If the hope for nanotechnology holds true, then we may witness the emergence of new types of high-throughput factories specially conceived to operate at the nanoscale and referred to as nanofactories. It is a very difficult task to predict the exact shape and the various components of such nanofactories. This paper describes a platform that we believe may be the foundation of many future nanofactories. The platform is based on a fleet of scientific instruments configured as miniature autonomous robots, each capable of fast operations at the molecular scale. The proposed approach is briefly compared to other methods and a general description of the final version of such a platform is also provided.
