Nature has always proved to be the major inspiration for technological advances. If man did not see birds flying in the air, they would not have thought of taking off to the skies, and researchers over at the University of Leeds School of Mechanical Engineering have decided to be inspired by the feet of tree frogs in order to help them construct a small robot which was specially designed to crawl within your body whenever a keyhole surgery is performed. The idea does not sound inviting at all for sure, but the practical applications of such a robot would seem to bring plenty of potential benefit during surgery.
