Meet the Millipede Robot: A Tiny Soft Machine That Could One Day Deliver Medicine Inside Your Body
In a major breakthrough for both medicine and robotics, scientists from the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) have developed a tiny soft robot that could one day travel inside the human body to deliver life-saving drugs exactly where they are needed. This robot, which looks and moves like a millipede, is not only ultra-small but also flexible, adaptable, and efficient. It represents a big step forward in the merging worlds of nanotechnology and healthcare.
