THE DOCTOR YOU CAN SWALLOW

It all began from a research project of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) conducted by a group of scientists from the electric and computer engineering department. In collaboration with the British University of Sheffield and the Tokyo Institute of Technology, they have created a mini origami-robot. Obviously, this invention has nothing to do with paper. The name should evoke its ability to bend and unfold. In fact, this tiny technological invention owes its success exactly to this ability to shrink, turn in on itself and fit into a digestible casing and be swallowed.
