Robotic pill clears mucus from gut to deliver meds
by Joseph scanlon
The researchers at MIT are developing a robot pill that is descended to be swallowed and can tunnel threw the muscles in the intestines and deposit medica that would usail need to be injected like incelin in the body. This can have huge benefits that could change things in the medical field by letting people swallow drugs that would usually need to be injected into the body daily like insulin and antibiotics they also think that with further study it could deposit large size payloads inside the body that could lead to greater benefits going further

What other drugs could this be used for?
How scalable is it to produce these mechanical pills?
Could these possibly damage the body?
