With the development of robotic technologies, robots have also come into our lives that can move around in our bodies and ensure that medicines are deposited in the right places or perform microsurgical operations. But these robots still have some problems, especially in tight places. limitations and problems they can have.
Scientists from Taiwan’s Soochow University have developed a new robot that can move even in the tightest of places and achieve its goal. Moreover, this robot was not a monolithic robot, but a liquid robot. The robot can change shape in tight spots thanks to its fluidity, It may even break into pieces.
Liquid robot that can be disassembled:
This robot you see above, thanks to magnetic ferrofluids it became possible. Scientists used iron oxide nanoparticles suspended in oil to develop the robot. In addition to these particles, the robot also contains a series of controllable magnets that act on the nanoparticles, steer the robot as needed and cause it to change shape.
The robot, which is only one centimeter long, can reach dimensions much smaller than one centimeter thanks to this feature. In addition, the robot become smaller robots in millimeters or micrometers. can also achieve. These robots are powered by magnetic fields so they can exit and return from the main body.
On the other hand, according to scientists, while the robot may seem impressive, its future use in the human body seems a long way off. It is stated that the robot can be used in confined spaces where chemical processes such as virus tests are performed rather than inside the human body. In this way the robot can for commentstransport of the necessary chemicals. can do the job.
