A group of scientists from the University of Colorado, in U.S, announced the development of a spider-shaped micro robot that could revolutionize medicine and rescue efforts.
According to researchers, the robot, which is 2 cm long, weighs 0.97 g and can move at 6 cm per second, has the ability to change shape to “fit” into small spaces.

The inventors gave the robot the nickname “mCLARI”, in reference to its predecessor, which was simply called “CLARI”.
In addition to its direct predecessor, mCLARI is in the same class as other exploring microrobots, as is the case with the also recent “cockroach robot”.
University of Colorado engineering professor Jayaram Kaushik, one of the creators of the small machine, emphasized its importance for the future of technology.
“In the long term, we envision these robots being effective at navigating through human bodies and performing automated surgeries, such as clearing a blocked artery or removing a tumor,” predicted.
Kaushik and his team say they are committed to improving mCLARI to the extreme, in order to make the expectations and aspirations established with this launch a reality.
