Researchers have discovered a way to deliver small soft robots into patients. This might open the door to less invasive surgeries and therapies for ailments such as aortic artery block and stomach cancer. This robot is better than the existing ones as it is composed of a magnetic polymer that can be accessed remotely. “The robot is like a small actuator, but because we can apply magnetic fields, we can send it into the body without a tether, so it's wireless.
That makes it significantly less invasive than our current technologies." - Renee Zhao Delivering multiple and selective treatments are salient features of the origami robot as it has the ability to fold and unfold when it reaches the target organ. Unlike the previous origami models, this wireless soft robot is less bulky and easy to handle in terms of navigation control and deployment. Scientists believe that this robot can have…
