Scientists have been able to create robots that can treat cancer by moving inside the lungs.
Scientists have developed tiny robotic tentacles that can move inside the lungs to diagnose and treat cancer. These magnetic tentacles, which are only 2.4 mm in diameter and are very soft, adapt their shape to the anatomy of the body by magnets. They are passed into the lungs through the end of a bronchoscope - a thin tube with a light and camera.
The robotic tentacles report both their shape and position to the doctor as they move and once they reach their destination, they begin local treatment through an embedded laser fiber.
Scientists at the University of Leeds tested this robot, which was developed in the Storm Laboratory (STORM) of this university, on a corpse. They found that these...
