Systems nanotechnology: Identification, estimation, and control of nanoscale systems

Technological advancements in synthesizing devices at the nanoscale has produced a variety of analogues to classical systems elements, such as sensors, actuators, and control systems. We review recent experimental literature on nanoscale devices that have been produced to have useful systems functionality, as well as efforts to employ these devices in identification, estimation, and control. The integration of these components is also discussed.
