U.S. Develops Serpentine Crawler Robots to Help Fine Operation

New snake robot.

Howie Choset, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States, designed and developed a serpentine crawling robot that has a smaller head than a dime coin and is flexible enough to assist fine surgery operations. He believes that this kind of robot can make complex and delicate surgical operations faster and easier, and can reduce medical costs.

According to reports, such small surgical robots have less physical harm to patients and can help patients recover faster. For example, compared with a heart operation that opens up the entire chest cavity, now with only a small incision, the robot can climb to the site where surgery is needed.

Professor Tiwari of Cornell University Medical Center said that thousands of cases of prostate surgery have been performed using robots. He said that the tiny and delicate surgical robot can not only remove cancerous tumors, but also accurately protect the nervous system. Tivari said that what is most exciting to him is that surgical robots may accomplish things that people cannot do. He said that the size of the robot has continued to shrink, but with the help of various sensors, they can continue to expand their functions. In the future, it is possible to use robots to test the body's chemical substances or blood, even the transmission of nerve signals.

It is reported that scientists and doctors have begun to use some crawling robots to perform cardiac, prostate and other organ surgery for patients. The crawler robots carry miniature cameras, scissors and tweezers. They are also equipped with advanced sensors, and doctors control their movement through wires. Experts believe that in the near future, the days when the robot autonomously roaming within the human body will also come.
