Infection within the human body begins to spread at the cellular level. Infected cells spread disease to neighboring cells rapidly, which then spread the disease to their neighboring cells, and so on as the infection grows to take over the body. BEST Robotics is experimenting with the use of micro-robotics to isolate infected cells from others and apply localized vaccines to slow or stop the spread. Robots that can operate at this level quickly and efficiently prove invaluable to the medical world. In this year’s game micro-robots directed by medical professionals were capable of sampling, identifying, and separating individual cells to isolate the infected areas, as well as apply the vaccines where needed to immunize groups of cells to stop the “Outbreak”.
