Classification based on size
- nano-scale - (e.g. nanomedical devices, ...)
- micro-scale - (e.g. microcomponent maintainance units, ...)
- meso-scale - around human eye visibility threshold (e.g. hacking devices, CO2 depleting replicators, ...)
- macro-scale - (e.g. cars & other vehicles for transportation, space probes, ...)
Classification based on material processing capabilities
- microcomponents - (e.g. microcomponent maintainance units)
- feedstock molecules suitable best suitable for mechanosynthesis - (e.g. nanofactories, ...)
- normal air - see: air as a resource - (e.g. CO2 collector devices, CO2 depleting replicators, ...)
- certain biological materials e.g. DNA - (e.g. nanomedical devices, ...)
- sugar - (e.g. nanomedical devices, ...)
Classification based on mechanical interconnectedness
- free floating/flying/swimming - (e.g. nanomedical devices, cleanup devices, ...)
- tethered - (e.g. utility foglets, trains, ...)
- barely mobile - (e.g. elasticity emulating microcomponents)
Classification based on degree of good will
- productive / useful - (e.g. nanomedical devices, nanofactories, computerglasses, ...)
- grey zone - (e.g. cleanup devices, hacking devices, ...)
- malicious - (e.g. atmosphere poisoners, CO2 depleting replicators, ...)
