Universities in the microrobotics’ momentum

It is now clear that, the wide scale adoption of nanorobots is fueled by its wide array of applications. Universities like Chonnam National University (South Korea) have been consistently providing monetizable breakthroughs in microrobotics.

 In 2001, the university's R&D center, Robot Research Initiative (RRI), developed the first colonoscopy robot. 

In 2010, RRI developed the world's first intravascular microrobot used for the treatment of blood vessel-related diseases. In March 2015, they developed an active endoscope. 

The university also signed a contract for USD 8.27 million with Woo Young Medical, a medical device manufacturer, for the transfer of technology. 

In effect, Universities like this play a major role in coming up with innovative technologies that address key issues of the medical field.
