Mini rolling robot could ‘revolutionise’ early cancer detection

A team of researchers from the University of Leeds, who are behind the project, say the device is the first-of-its-kind. Experts, who published their study in Science Robotics, explained that the tiny magnetic robot can take 3D scans from within the gut. In other words, the creation enables ‘virtual biopsies’ – non-invasive scans that deliver fast diagnostic data. A graphic showcasing how the new technology works. There’s no denying the fact tha…
