<strong>UNESCO</strong> <strong>SCIENCE</strong> <strong>REPORT</strong><br />

Israel needs to prepare for tomorrow’s science-based industries.<br />

Daphne Getz and Zehev Tadmor<br />

A miniaturized device developed in<br />

Professor Moshe Shoham’s robotics<br />

laboratory at the Technion Institute of<br />

Technology in Haifa. Based on microelectro-mechanical<br />

systems technology,<br />

the tiny robot can theoretically be guided<br />

inside the body via an external controller to<br />

perform a variety of medical tasks in a much<br />

less invasive way than currently possible.<br />
