Israeli scientists recently claimed to have created the world's smallest robot, which can enter human blood vessels and send drugs to all parts of the bodyThe robot was developed by scientists from several institutions, including the Israel Institute of Technology"The robot is 1 mm in diameter and 4 mm long, and is the smallest in the world, " Neil Schwab, one of the study's leaders, told Xinhua in a telephone interviewhe said the robot was "crawling" rather than "swimming" whenmovement in the blood vessels, which also makes it easier to controlmovement in the blood vesselsOded Solomon, another scientist involved in the robot's development, explained in a telephone interview that the robot has a robot that can grab the inner walls of blood vessels so it can withstand the impact of blood flow and move forwardSolomon says the robot itself does not carry batteries and is powered by vibrations triggered by external magnetic fieldsBecause all its energy comes from the outside, the robot not only works in the human body without time under human control, but also allows scientists to minimize the size of the robotIn minimally invasive surgery and close-up therapy for cancer treatment, the robot could be used as a tool to deliver drugs and solve problems with how to accurately apply them to the sites where treatment is needed, he saidSolomon said they will continue to try to reduce the size of the robot and improve its suitability
