Self-assembling robotic gastric surgeons, small enough to swallow, will requires advances in magnetic connectors to become a reality. Zoltan Nagy researches tiny magnetic connectors. His goal is to create self-reconfiguring modular robotics (SRCMR) which are robust enough for surgery within the human body. Zoltan outlines his plans for future research. Learn how he communicates with these tiny robots as they perform delicate surgery in working prototypes of the human stomach.
