Obwohl er nur 4,4 mm lang ist, kann der Roboter sich bewegen, biologisches Gewebe schneiden, Medikamente freisetzen, Gewebeproben greifen und lagern oder aus der Ferne Wärme im Körper erzeugen
Measuring just 4.4 mm (0.17 in) long, the ultra-tiny robot developed at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore can crawl across soft tissues, cut biological material, release drugs, collect tissue samples, and even generate therapeutic heat on demand. Most remarkably, it can switch between these five functions in less than a second, all without wires, onboard electronics, or batteries.
The robot is a recent development in the rapidly growing field of [magnetic medical robotics,](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2950584425000372) where researchers use external magnetic fields to guide miniature devices through the body. These systems are widely considered a potential future alternative to some forms of minimally invasive surgery, possibly enabling procedures in hard-to-reach locations without large incisions or bulky surgical instruments.

Ooh, new body horror / torture possibilities unlocked!

So it can cut biological tissue, but what I think we need is a micro surgery robot that can mend biological tissue.
