Robot invented to crawl through veins

"SCIENTISTS FROM Israel's Technion University have unveiled a tiny robot, made using Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, purportedly able to crawl through a person's veins in order to diagnose and potentially treat artery blockage and cancer."

However I still think even though it is only 1mm in diameter, its still a bit bigger than what I'd like crawling in my body.

Bring on the Nanobots :D

I guarantee Nanobots will cure any and all types ofcancer, aids, obesity, clogged veins, diseases in the next century.

If you think about it, anti-virus software is the equivalent of what I'm trying to proclaim. A virus is spread through the network (veins). To stop it you must download (inject) software (nanobots) onto (into) your computer (body) to stop the virus from spreading (like cells).

Time will only tell.
