Nanomachines

Nanomachines are the special grade of robots that, due to their microscopic size and a wide range of applications, are commonly used by the Homelanders.

Overview
Nanomachines constantly circulate within the Homelanders' bodies, providing numerous advantages, with the major advantage being very fast and reliable regeneration.

Because of this technology the Homelanders can also direct and even accelerate nanomachines to a desired direction, achieving remote regeneration of organic or non-organic matter, scanning area for certain useful objects and information or even scanning a living organism from the inside and gaining the full knowledge about its strucute.

Despite the name, these machines can be as small as atoms which makes smaller scale regeneration possible. The Homelanders decided to keep the old name for convenience.

Control and energy
Each individual nanomachine has a cpu module that process the Homelanders' requests and controls said machines. In case when it is nescessary, a Homelander can take the machines under its direct control.

The complexity and vast numbers of the robots are compensated easily by sheer calculating power of the Homelanders' artificial intelligences.

Nanomachines are powered up by the Homelanders' stellar energy. In case of operating outside of their bodies, nanomachines have autonomous energy accumulators with a sufficient amount of stored energy.

Bionanomachines
Development of biological and genetic technologies made possible to create organic nanoscale robots that are able to power themselves with chemical energy from food, reproduce naturally and still be controlled by the Homelanders or execute their standard program.

These nanorobots were embedded into the Home's biosphere several ages ago. Their numbers can grow up to the critical point which is set by the Homelanders. After that their reproduction rates fall down to the optimal level. That limitation was introduced to prevent any harm to the biosphere.

Mostly made of genetically modified organics, fully comparable with an artificial type of energy and information transfer, bionanobots can be easily reached and used by the Homelanders or a supercomputer complex. A BNB's (bionanobot) ganglion is able to receive an electrical signal from the supercomputer. Because this signal emulates effects that certain pheromones have on the insects, it is able to impact and control the BNB's behavior.

Bionanobots from the outside of the inhabited area of Home replaced several genera and species of insects, performing their natural functions.

Present
The Final Singularity rendered the usage of nanomachines obsolete, because direct manipulation of particles became much faster and efficient.
