We have demonstrated for the first time that nanorobots can be controlled in vivo using positron emission tomography (PET): this is a highly sensitive, non-invasive technique that is currently used in the biomedical environment.

In order to demonstrate the collective work of AI, the researchers conducted in vitro experiments: they controlled a swarm of nanorobots using optical microscopy and positron emission tomography (PET).
Both methods showed how nanoparticles mix with liquids and are able to collectively move along trajectories.Next, the nanorobots were injected into mice intravenously and, finally, into the bladder of these animals.
Since the nanorobots are coated with an enzyme underBy the name of urease, which uses urea from urine as fuel, they literally float alongside each other, causing fluid to flow inside the bladder.
From several experiments, the authors concluded that the collective movement was coordinated and effective.
Such a swarm of robots could potentially be used, for example, in viscous environments where drug diffusion is often limited by poor vascularization, e.g.However, the authors believe that in the future robots will be possibleAdapt to any environment.
