Hurrah for nanotechnology, and Israeli scientists successfully worked for a medical robot that measures only 1 mm in diameter. What does this mean? It is small enough to crawl into our ears and noses, in addition to their way through veins and arteries. Despite the fact that the very idea that might turn some people leave (including me), you can be assured that these scientists will not use it for nefarious purposes, but instead, they focused on the study of the real person. He also tipped that the medical robots will be equipped to deal with certain cancers, while the idea of using a group of them to fight metastases is enticing.


Also known as underwater robot (for obvious reasons, especially when it makes its way through your blood stream), this little robot, currently has no direction as it is too early to know only that there is a practical application for it. Initial proposals point to its use in brachytherapy - the process by which cancer patients exposed to radiation short distance from the source inside or next to the area requiring treatment. For example, for brachytherapy is a common method of treatment for the localization of prostate cancer, as well as cancer of the head and neck. The idea of relying on the strength also detail after as many robots will be able to engage in a significant number of malignant tumors located all over the body, even when you sleep.

This little robot is also strong enough to crawl against blood without any problems - something unattainable with other robots before him. This was made possible by the small arms that stretch from gripping on the vessel wall, not causing any damage or injury to the patient. There is no word on when this robot will be approved by regulatory bodies, but we hope the answer will be submitted soon, more people relate to cancer.
