Try to imagine tiny robotic vessels that go inside the body and swim around under the control of doctors who diagnose patients from the inside, and even perform surgical tasks.

[b]Endiatx. [/b]Founded in 2019, they have already created a tiny robotic drone that can be swallowed by human patients and piloted remotely inside the stomach and other parts of the digestive tract. Known as the PillBot™, their prototype system is basically a tiny remote-controlled submarine the size of a multivitamin that sends real-time video back to a doctor’s computer or phone. And it works – they’ve run tests on cadavers and live humans.

Re: New tech allows doctors to travel inside of your body
This could be a huge benefit for individuals who go to the doctor with stomach pain. Instead of having a standard endoscopy procedure, which generally requires sedation and involves multiple visits, the tiny swallow able robot could save time, money, and complexity, giving doctors a quick and easy way to look around inside their patient. And it may provide more flexible control than a traditional endoscope, as the untethered Pillbot has the full 3D mobility of a tiny robotic submarine. It even looks like a tiny sub – with micromotors and tiny propellers along with a video camera, battery, and wireless link for feeding images back to doctors in real-time.

hmm wow this can go along way in the medical field

most nigerians will not agree to have a strange metal be inserted into their body. we are superstitious like that

ITS NOT A BAD DEVELOPMENT AT ALL

obviously meant for rich people

sure thing my brother

nawa

mad o

good stuff

...
Tech is the future

What happens to the Pillbot robot after it's work inside the body? Does it get egested or digested by the human body?

Good job guys... We're still dragging and fighting for our polithiefcians some friends over here... Maybe in 5022, we will develop a tabbot. A bot that can help humans take drugs without fear.

I think its more like a camera, to travel into the body and help them see what is wrong

i thoroughly enjoy the constant evolvement of the tech space

Ok I like this one
