It’s one of the great misconceptions, that nanotech will be “machines” as we know them now.  Most likely they will be assembled by clever tricks of chemistry and conscripted biological processes.  That’s not to say that individually assembled mechanical machines are out entirely, but when you are working at a near-molecular level, it will be much more efficient to co-opt existing processes rather than reinventing them.
