I'm assuming "molecular robotics" is intended to cover CRISPR-like technologies.

There's a separate section for biotechnology. Molecular robotics is listed under robotics along with smart dust and swarming technology.

molecular robotics in a colloquial sense would cover any mechanichal process that is implemented at the molecular level of organization, this would include any sort of sequence determination; construction; or modification -- meaning most of any biotech, and nanotech. Seeing that btech is a separate matter is interesting.
