Scientists create robots digested, swallowed without the need to 'go out'

This will be a big step forward in robotics.

Speaking of robots, we often think of big metal machines, but nowadays flexible robots are what the researchers are aiming for, and more than that, they want to bring robots that humans have. can ... digest.

Of course this is not to deal with the future when wars like Terminator occur, but to serve more practical purposes, such as studying the human body, transmitting the body The patient does not have to worry about defecating tools because the robot is also the food itself.

These robots are being developed by the Swiss EPFL Research Institute. Although soft robots are not new to current projects, most of them are made of plastic, while robots are shaped like the fingers you see under the wire. gelatin, glycerin and water, meaning completely digestible.

Robots are very important in medicine.

Due to the above characteristics, these robots have many interesting uses. You can use it to study the environment and let it decay, or use it as bait to infiltrate the animal's body and track it from within. Most importantly, because of the composition of human substances that can be absorbed, it is of great significance in the medical profession, when doctors can mix drugs into the robot and then into the human body and then will be digested. .

At present, these ideas are still far-fetched, but researchers are very hopeful about this project, and they even want to create robots that can feed themselves to boost their energy in the end.
