The robot has yet to be named and is called the " micro surgery " robot that performs surgical operations in a transparent vesicle implant. By manipulating the robot, students and surgeons can practice and learn about blood vessel treatments.

It is known that blood vessel therapy is very effective for stroke patients and it is much easier than with conventional methods (doctors have to remove the blood vessels with a scalpel).

In tests, the robot is inserted into a leg vein so that it can reach the blood vessels of the brain.

The robot, developed by Nagoya University, will be exhibited at the 4-day International Robot Exhibition with the participation of more than 200 manufacturers and related companies.

It is one of the world's largest exhibitions on robots organized by the Japan Robotics Association and the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun.
