The researchers from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) and ETH Zurich in Switzerland drew inspiration from bacteria to design the highly flexible biocompatible micro-robots. HIGHLIGHTS · Scientists have developed tiny, smart robots that can swim through blood vessels · These devices can pass through narrow blood vessels · The robots can be either controlled using an electromagnetic field or left to navigate Scientists have developed tiny, smart robots that can swim through blood vessels, paving the way for ingestible machines that could deliver drugs directly to diseased tissue in the future.
