You want one of these suckers crawling around in your colon?

[Huge]

A new, remote-controlled, pill-sized robot that has a camera and moving legs has been developed to scan for cancer in the stomach or colon. Italian scientists sought to find an alternative to the dangerous, invasive and uncomfortable colonoscopy procedure, which traditionally uses a flexible tube, called a snake, with a camera fixed to the end.

Better than the prep needed for a colonoscopy.
Though I'm not too sure about those hook-shaped feet...

Oh joy, the schizophrenics be reporting these more than ever now that they prove such a device actually exist.

"they're inside me taking picutes and climbing around, I can feel them, hundreds of them"​

I wonder if I can use it to pill the cat.

Man, if they get this to market fast enough, I'm gonna laugh my ass off (yuck yuck) at all those suckers who let someone shove a 6' pole up their ass.

i'm sure they'll need to clear the pipes with the wonder robot as well. wouldn't want the little guy to get poop-locked.

Pole? Closer to a CAT5 cable, actually and er... nevermind.

Easy dude. Everyone already knows you popped a woody on your last visit. Noone judges you over it.

Nah...but the elevator trip down to the car afterwards was interesting.

Flying nanobot..with pinhole camera

 

[Professur]

Misnomer. At best that's a microbot.

 

[MrBishop]

MEMS bot...in either case, they're very interesting. almost as interesting as using cyborged insects as spies. Berkley RCed a rhinocerous beetle

 

[randomJACKASS]

I'd much rather have that than more invasive procedures!

 

[MrBishop]

I'll mark you down for a vote of wireless instead of CAT5
