Tiny ‘Paper Bird’ Robot Performs Operations Inide Human Body

Scientists have developed a “paper bird” robot that is small enough to fit inside the human body to perform operations.

Built by researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Zurich, the microscopic robots use tiny, programmable magnets for it to be controlled remotely.

Unlike traditional robots, the microbot uses soft materials that allow it to navigate flexible structures such as blood vessels, with a design inspired by origami paper birds.
