This capsule, called “PillBot”, was swallowed like a pill. Harbinger of a new era in medicine Let’s see together what exactly this capsule does.

This allows you to see every part of the stomach.

To use the robot pill, the person starve for a day and then he has to swallow the PillBot with plenty of water.

Functioning like a small submarine; Equipped with cameras, sensors and wireless communication functions, PillBot thanks to a remote control It can move in the stomach.

So there is no need for the person to be put to sleep and endoscopy performed, and when everything is done, the robot pill, It leaves the body naturally.

The CEO swallowed PillBot several times on stage while promoting the product.

According to CEO Torrey Smith, the prototype, which measures 13mm by 30mm, can be built in seconds. from 2.3 megapixels It can transmit high-definition video.

Smith has performed once, including live on stage. By swallowing 43 PillBots played a role in testing his own product.

It is intended to work with artificial intelligence.

Currently, PillBot’s movements and camera are controlled manually, but its main purpose is to do that The device is guided by artificial intelligence.

In this way, technology can reach a broader population Thanks to early detection and treatment of health problems Lives can be saved.

If everything goes as they want, it could be put into use in 2026.

Especially Pillbot, developed by Endiatx (a medical device supplier in California). for rural areas with little access to medical facilities It is thought to be an alternative.

The micro-robot pill will receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration in 2025 Commissioning in 2026 is expected.
