Do you know that the future of technology could repair wounds?
The technological design of robots has been geared towards optimizing size and capacity as well as increasing efficiency.
One of the latest innovations in robotics is the creation of microscopic robots that can pass through the eye of a needle, making the miniature robot small enough to enter the body by injection. The army robot is about the size of the width of a human hair, which is invisible to the naked eye.
The robot moves with the aid of designed legs controlled by an actuator. The actuator responds to solar cells connected to the leg laser when a command is given remotely with the aid of a laser beam.
The miniature robots are designed to work even in harsh conditions like extreme acidity and temperatures. The machine is capable of transforming shape depending on the heat in the environment using its elastic-designed material known as “shape-memory alloy.” This medical (health) technology is proposed to diagnose internal body conditions when injected.
Currently, the robot is not intelligent enough to find disease-causing agents that may be present in the body, but there is hope that the future of diseased-cell detection and wound repair is possible using this technology. The future of the machine could enable technology perform surgeries internally without a tear and could even aid in detecting cancer and other diseases. These are what the researchers aim to achieve with this technology.
Acting like an internal robotic medical assistant, researchers proposed that the miniature robot would help to stop internal bleeding and destroy cancerous cells when detected.
The machine is being improved to perform complex computations and operate autonomously. It also has the capacity to integrate with existing AI systems to perform smart operations. The challenge with the injectable robot is its designed legs. Since the robots would be moving through bodily fluids, walking legs will not be useful.
Researchers are looking forward to designing a tiny worm-like injectable robot so as to solve the locomotion problem. Before the technology would be accepted, safety must be guaranteed, and every health requirement must be met if they would ever be injected into the human body.
This technology may sound impossible, just as the present technology seemed in the pre-digital era centuries ago; more so, the adventure of tech innovations is in surpassing impossibilities.
While swallowable devices are used for obtaining gastrointestinal reports, injected miniature robots may be next on board. So, what are your expectations from this technology?
