Científicos diseñan robot miniatura para uso médico

The video discusses an origami-inspired robot developed by MIT researchers. This small, flexible robot can be ingested in a pill-sized ice cube to deliver drugs or patch internal wounds. Once in the stomach, body heat melts the ice, allowing the robot to unfold and perform its tasks. Made from pig intestine, it is controlled externally using magnetic forces. The robot is part of soft robotics, designed for complex tasks like surgeries and removing ingested objects, such as batteries. Although not yet tested in humans or animals, its future applications are promising.
