#video | Miniature robot implanted into the human body
The Idea of creating microbots that "lived" in the human body and monitor the state of health, every year seems less and less fantastic. Because there are a lot of ready-made prototypes, some of which have successfully passed the stage of clinical trials. And, according to the editors of the magazine New Scientist, and recently a group of scientists from the USA, China and Israel presented a video with microbots that can be embedded in the human body.
Miniature "doctor" consists of three gold pieces with a length of five micrometers each. All parts are connected by loops of silver. It is worth saying that demonstrated the robot is only a test pattern on the basis of which future to create microbots for targeted (i.e. directly in the "sore spot") drug delivery.
Now the robot is capable of speeds up to 5.5 micrometers per second. The movement of microbiota adjustable magnetic field. Now the robot is covered with inert materials, but the next version of the device should be biodegradable. As reported by the developers of the first version of robots for medical institutions should appear within the next five years, and they will be designed to deliver drugs for the urinary tract. Well, our readers can see how the moves "robot-doctor" is now in the video below.
