<ul><li>Researchers at the University of Leeds have developed a tiny magnetic robot equipped with a small ultrasound sensor that can be used for non-invasive gut scanning.</li><li>The robot, controlled externally using a large magnet kit, can capture high-resolution 3D scans and detect anomalies in the gut wall.</li><li>The robot's unique oloid shape allows it to roll easily inside the gut cavity, making it safer, cheaper, and more targeted.</li><li>By eliminating the wait interval between diagnosis and intervention, the robot can offer immediate scanning results, potentially reducing waiting times and repeat procedures.</li></ul>
