Swiss experts have created a flexible robot that you can eat

Specialists from the Polytechnic School of Lausanne created an edible robot. The authors of the novelty are counting on the successful application of their offspring during medical procedures.

The device is manufactured using gelatin and glycerin. All its details are completely safe for health, in other words, edible.. Scientists believe that such assistants will have a future, so they plan to create some more much more functional models. So far we are talking about the so-called tentacles-manipulators, capable of performing small actions that facilitate the work of medical personnel.

The functionality of such robots can be significantly expanded by adding medicinal preparations or vitamins to the composition. This will allow the device to be used for the delivery of nutrients to vital organs. Perhaps in the following the invention will be released and with aromatic additives, and the robot can be eaten as candy or chewing marmalade.But so far, scientists face the tasks of maximally expanding its capabilities and ensuring complete safety for the patient of the interventions carried out with his help.

Flexible, flexible robots are something that scientists around the world have been working on for many years. Such assistants will come in handy in cases of microscopic operations where large incisions are not necessary. With the help of such devices it will be possible to deliver any drugs to the damaged organs without any problems. And in cases with edible, self-absorbable robots, even without the need to remove such devices upon completion of work.
