Worm-inspired robot crawls through intestines


A robot designed to crawl through the human gut by mimicking the wriggling motion of an undersea worm has been developed by European scientists. It could one day help doctors diagnose disease by carrying tiny cameras through patients' bodies.
Most people will cringe at this, but having had an endoscopy recently, I'd prefer the mechanical bug.

if it's going to be a bug, then I would take mechanical too!
