Israeli Geniuses make smallest mini-robot that can travel through a bloodstream

[Ehud]

This is another example of the Jewish geniuses in Israel.  The whole world tried to do it and couldn't figure it out but Israelis found a way!

New mini-robot can travel through the bloodstream

By Guy Griml

Scientists at the Technion University, teamed with a researcher from the College of Judea and Samaria, have developed a miniature robot that can move within the bloodstream.

Researchers the world wide have been trying to develop miniature, remote-controlled robots for minimally invasive medical treatments within the body.

"For the first time a miniature robot has been planned and constructed, that has the unique ability to crawl within the human body's veins and arteries," said Dr. Nir Shvalb of the College of Judea and Samaria yesterday.

"The robot will be able to crawl against the bloodstream with a force typical of blood vessels within the body without any problem, which has not been possible before."
 
Oded Salomon, researcher at the medical robotics lab in the Technion's engineering faculty, added that the miniaturization achievement is unprecedented, as is the ability to control the robot's activity for unlimited periods of time, for any medical procedure.

For comparison, the diameter of a similar robot which researchers at Kyoto University developed is one centimeter. The Israeli robot's diameter is one millimeter.

The new robot consists of a hub from which tiny arms stretch out, allowing the robot to  strongly grip the vessel walls. The operators can manipulate the robot to move in increments, and its special structure allows it to crawl within a variety of vessels with differing diameters.

Blood vessels differ from each other in diameter, making it extremely important for the robot to possess the ability to be able to adjust accordingly.

What? No pictures!
I wonder how they'll power that thing.

I don't reckon that we're gonna see an Angolan or Jamaican arterial robot anytime soon.

I have some evil ideas for this.  HE heee heeee.  Inject it into the terrorist prisoners that Israel uses in prison swaps and set it on a timer to give the prisoners a stroke 24 hrs after they are released.

Amazing!

I wonder why the Islamic geniuses haven't invented something superior yet.

Program these robots to perform radical brain surgery then stick one in the ear of every schmuck in the knesset.
