Robot To Identify Disease

The sniffing robot can identify different types of scents with machine learning.

The silicon-chip device called ATOMS - short for addressable transmitters operated as magnetic spins could one day serve as miniature robotic wardens of our bodies, monitoring a patient's gastrointestinal tract, blood, or brain.

Imagine a tiny snake robot crawling through your body, helping a surgeon identify diseases and perform operations. It's not science fiction. Scientists and doctors are using the creeping metallic tools to perform surgery on hearts, prostate cancer, and other diseased organs. The snakebots carry tiny cameras, scissors and forceps, and even more adva...
