Tiny robots step closer to treating hard-to-reach parts of the body
Nov 22, 2017
- Tiny remotely operated robots could be designed to diagnose and treat illness in hard-to-reach areas of the human body, research suggests. The robots could also sense chemical changes linked to the onset of illness within parts of the body, which makes them potentially useful as probes for remote diagnosis. An international team of researchers, led by the Chinese University of Hong Kong, developed micro-robots by coating a microscopic algae with non-harmful, biocompatible magnetic particles. The devices can smoothly swim in biological fluids, such as dilute blood and gastric fluid.
