A semi-human robot in Medical Field inspired by Origami

We've seen a lot of innovations in science and technology. Some of the technology developed are usually inspired by things that already existed. Recently, scientists and engineers have developed a new semi-human robot inspired by origami.

Who knew that something as simple s origami could inspire a Medical breakthrough.

I found out about this innovation on a certain science article and the Link to that is below.

What will be the use case of this technology, well it'll be used for surgical operations. The robot uses very simple folding techniques to be able to move with smooth precision. This will help surgeons become more accurate with how the handle delicate surgical operations. The patients can go through an operation with less trauma and that will bring about faster recovery for them

This robot uses simple folding techniques to move with precision, making it a valuable tool for surgeries. It can perform delicate operations with less trauma for patients, which leads to faster recovery times.

A good advantage for this robot is how it can operate without the need for batteries or even wires connected, it only operates on magnetic field energy. Why is that even an advantage you might ask? Well there a certain types of surgeries that will be done in tight spaces like a little nerve damage in the brain and these could be risky areas that stands a chance of damage from electricity from the wires or batteries. That's what I suppose the advantage could be but I'll probably need more insights from the developers of the tech to confirm it.

So this feature of using magnetic field instead of batteries could opens doors for new types of surgery that were not possible before.

The semi-human robot is not big at all, it's actually lightweight as an origami would be and also compact so it's perfect for most micro-surgeries.

I think the main value of this robot is its accuracy and precision in performing delicate tasks so I guess it wouldn't be useful in just the medical field but also any industry that requires high accuracy and precision in their operations.

They just introduced it to the general public so there's still a lot of workel to be done on the technology before it becomes great and afterwards we may see lots of new innovation from it.
