MIT develops thread-like robot that can slip through brain’s blood vessels
Scientists at MIT have developed a thread-like robot that can be steered using magnets and slip through the brain’s blood vessels. The university’s website reports that, in the future, this “robotic thread” may be paired with existing endovascular technologies, enabling doctors to remotely guide the robot through a patient’s brain vessels to quickly treat blockages…
