Experts from the University of Toronto have created a snake-like robot for use in surgery and industry.

Engineers at the Robotics Lab at the University of Toronto have created ultra-thin, flexible and expandable robots a few millimeters in diameter for use in surgery. They will allow you to get into hard-to-reach places. This is stated on the university’s website.

The long body of the robot is made up of sections. Its total length can vary from 15 to 70 millimeters.

The threads running through the robot’s “body” are attached to a thicker disk at the end of each body part. By pulling on these threads, you can control the individual segments of the robot and bend them in different directions. Alternate polarity magnets within each disc ensure that the discs are evenly spaced regardless of the length of the robot segment. This helps the robot bend at will and overcome the curved path.

The authors noted that the technology still needs to be finalized in order to use the robot in medicine. In particular, equip the snake-like robot with a camera and laser tools.

Earlier it was reported that scientists created a corneal implant made of collagen, which restored sight to 20 volunteers.
