Researchers at Harvard collaborated with Sony to build a tiny, origami-inspired surgical robot. The robot is only about the size of a tennis ball and weighs only as much as a penny. And it's not just tiny, in a study published in Nature Machine Intelligence, the researchers described how it managed to perform a tricky mock surgical task. The research is part of a greater vision in which surgical procedures are taken over by robots.
