Idea: 3-D printed tele-operated aborto-bots.
"Snake-like robots have several advantages in surgical procedures. They have a long, narrow shape that allows them to reach confined spaces and deep wounds, and they have flexible bodies that can follow natural pathways within the human body. They also require fewer incisions, or even no incisions at all. Surgical snake robots should have several important features, according to the researchers. They should have a narrow body that can navigate through small incisions or natural orifices, and they should have “locomotion that is amenable to local anatomical constraints, e.g., path following and navigate within a prescribed working volume.”"
