Microrobot used to administer drugs in eyes
Some scientists at the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems in Switzerland are developing tiny, electromagnetically controlled microrobots that can swim on the surface of a patient’s eye. These robots then stay there for months, releasing drugs.
But knowing such a technology exists gives us hope that in the future we’ll have microrobots battling viruses in our bodies. What an epic battle that would be. Hit the break to watch a demonstration of the microrobot being tested on a dead pig’s eyeball: http://bcove.me/li84ci6u
