This book explores multi-robot systems and nanoscale miniaturization from a unified perspective, emphasizing the concept of information minimization, articulated through the Haken-Levi principle. It introduces fundamental ideas of multi-component self-organizing systems, such as order parameters from phase transitions and the slaving principle linked to dynamical systems. Notable examples include the docking maneuvers of robots in various dimensions. The second part delves into molecular robotics, where nature serves as a crucial guide for robot design. It highlights remarkable biological processes, such as proteins that transport loads along polymer strands and the collaborative actions that enable muscle contraction. The book offers insights into these phenomena, particularly through a detailed theoretical analysis of muscle contraction mechanisms. It emphasizes the necessity of quantum theory at the molecular level, presenting it in a way that simplifies complex calculations. The authors introduce a model based on an elementary version of quantum field theory, considering the influence of the environment on molecular quantum activity. Through clear examples, readers learn to model the behavior of single molecular robots and their collective dynamics. The development of multi-robot and molecular robotics will rely on interdisciplinary collaboration, making this work relevant for researchers, educators, and advanced students
