Robot Prototype Ready To Invade Human Body
June 23rd, 2009
Think about it. A little teeny tiny robot (1mm X 5mm) swimming and crawling through your body, searching for a tumor, all on its own. Well the ViRob, created by the students at Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, was made to run through your body. It swims around in your blood cells, your digestive tract, and respiratory system. It has little tentacles that it uses to attach itself and burrow itself into the walls of your cells. The idea, you could say, is disgusting, but you have to admit that it can lead to a bright future, health-wise.
Sci-Fi shows seem to have the coolest high-tech stuff these days. For example, this little robot could represent the robot shrunken by the shrink ray. Anyways, this robot could possibly cure diseases and do delicate procedures such as cutting off a tumor. Don’t be expecting it anytime soon, but know that it will be in our future.
