Boy, this sounds pleasant. Researchers in Japan have developed a Minibot that enters your body via an incision. It's then controlled from the outside while it performs surgery on you. It has forceps to take tissue samples, can deliver medicine, and take pictures. Most previous mini robots designed for your insides could only take pictures; this is the first to actually be proactive once inside.
