Body Bots
Wednesday Series Innovation Addressing Pressing World Needs: Defeating Cancer It's a cancer fighting robotic army. Miniscule robots, the size of a blood cell, swarming the human body to detect, precisely deliver drug therapies and defeat cancer. Mind-blowing, exciting research programs are underway worldwide. Two research programs are leading the way: Chinese University of Hong Kong and Philips Innovation Center in Germany. Both are developing "body bot" armies. It's important innovation addressing the pressing world need of defeating cancer. Army of Cancer Fighting Mini Robots Both Philips and Chinese University of Hong Kong have aggressive research and testing programs underway. The robots are microscopic. Their motion is controlled by magnetic fields. They swarm inside the human body to detect and treat disease. Chinese University Body Bots The Chinese scientists have developed mini-robots by coating tiny particles of algae with bio
