Johns Hopkins builds tiny cooperating robots to treat heart infection

Engineers at Johns Hopkins University have developed two rice-grain-sized robots designed to work together to treat infective endocarditis, an infection of the heart's inner lining. The microrobots reportedly cooperate to deliver treatment at the infection site, offering a possible minimally invasive alternative for a condition that normally requires long courses of antibiotics or surgery.
Why now: The novel use of cooperative microrobots against a serious heart infection is a striking medical robotics breakthrough.
