Soft mini-robots: Micro-robots will become soft and move like biological organisms, experts predict

Increasingly small robots can carry out their functions even inside the human body. No, this isn’t a sci-fi dream. The technology is almost ready. However there is still one condition they must meet to be effective: these devices need to have the same “softness” and flexibility as biological tissues.

And the microscopic BotMaster was heard saying...

"No...you were supposed to take a right at the aorta then straight down to the blockage in the left leg!!"


These newbots just have a hard time navigating...I'm asking for an upgrade if I have to be traffic coordinator as well!!

One movie was "Fantastic Voyage" (1966) where a team of scientists and doctors were shrunken and injected into the bloodstream of someone (maybe famous - I don't remember) and traveled through the veins and arteries removing blockages and avoiding the attacking white blood cells or some such thing.

Oh yes, I remember that one too, those were good films.
