How You Could See Inside Your Body — With a Micro-Robot | Alex Luebke and Vivek Kumbhari | TED
Would you swallow a micro-robot? In a gutsy demo, physician Vivek Kumbhari navigates Pillbot, a wireless, disposable robot swallowed onstage by engineer Alex Luebke, modeling how this technology can swiftly provide direct visualization of internal organs. Learn more about how micro-robots could move us past the age of invasive endoscopies and open up doors to…

The first Earth Day helped transform the ways we interact with the world around us, and it changed how we viewed our impact on the natural world––inspiring the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and landmark legislation that protected the air we breathe, the water we drank, and the animals that lived alongside us.😅

‘Women have another option. They can aspire to be wise, not merely nice; to be competent, not merely helpful; to be strong, not merely graceful; to be ambitious for themselves, not merely for themselves in relation to men and children. They can let themselves age naturally and without embarrassment, actively protesting and disobeying the conventions that stem from this society’s double standard about aging. Instead of being girls, girls as long as possible, who then age humiliatingly into middle-aged women, they can become women much earlier – and remain active adults, enjoying the long, erotic career of which women are capable, far longer. Women should allow their faces to show the lives they have lived. Women should tell the truth.’

An interesting diagnostic tool, the part that leaves me skeptical is when sterilizable, and reusable hardware is named as “more expensive” than a single use, high tech item… (chuckles) Unless there is a refundable deposit for “fishing” the hardware out of, and returning it from, your feces after the fact? Somehow, that makes the camera pill less than palatable to me…

I’m guessing that the anesthesiologist’s and nurses’ salary is what pumps the bill of an endoscopy, not necessarily the hardware used.

There is already a device, not a robot, called capsule endoscopy, which you take as a pill and you can see the whole stomach and small intestine without the need to control the robot. Of the robot would do anything else it would be useful. But till now it doesn’t have any benefits. And most of the time you need to take probes for histology which the robot can’t and you need the classic method to do it… Hope the robot will enhance in the future, but now from my point of view it has no advantages

I’m the only one who catch the bait and switch in video ? He hes clutching the pill in hes mouth, he did not swallow it ( i think it is scared of the lithium battery like all technical people ) and the video is a pre recorded one from an endoscopy cam.
Someone else did catch this ?

A fantastic trip inside the human body. He introduces a pill robot. He first showed a big one that was invented first, bit then he showed a small one just as the seize of a multivitamin pill. Another doctor told how he tried to convince his patients to swallow that pill. He then explains about the small one and also showed what the pill is able to do whenever we swallow it. One of the ted talkers swallowed it and then his coworker used a remote control to se his body from the inside. It’s a sort of robot, easy to use. It will help people to long live. The other presenter said that it was easy to swallow. This pill replace diagnosis, and also will makr interventions easier. Doctors can analyse everything using these small robots.

It looks like they faked all of this demonstration. When they put it in the tank it almost immediately gets stuck on the surface (wouldn’t it do this inside the stomach too?), and it’s moving in large jerky movements anyway. Then he swallows it and at 4:20 it jump cuts to being inside a stomach (pre-recorded). It also loops the video at 4:53. The guy with the controller is also giving off major “fake game playing” vibes. He’s barely moving the sticks and keeps taking a hand off the controller to gesticulate.
