The new locomotion robots can bring a new dimension to sensor technology. And it also can use in medical work.

The new tape-worm-looking caterpillar robots can make many things that are been impossible earlier. The movements of those robots are made by using magnetic systems. And those magnets can be installed on the X-ray films. Those robots can transport those films to the wanted position. Those film-looking structures can also use to transport tissues in the right positions. And they can make many things, that have been impossible before.
The robots can use nanowires to control the direction where the operators want them to move. The flat computers that are used in intelligent smartcards can control the operations of those nanowires. The system can adjust the length of those wires by using electric impulses or some chemicals. And those small systems can be equipped with small-size seismic sensors and ultrasound systems. Or they can transport things like x-ray films in very small places that are hard to reach.
The locomotion robots are like tapeworms that are traveling on the surface. Those systems can bring new accuracy for sensor technology. The system can equip with ultrasound systems. And they can be like self-moving ultrasound patches. If those locomotion robots can use for making X-ray images they can position to the position where the layer that should image is between the X-ray and the tape robot. In that case, the tape robot can be equipped with X-ray films.
"The caterpillar-bot’s movement is driven by a novel pattern of silver nanowires that use heat to control the way the robot bends, allowing users to steer the robot in either direction.

Those systems can observe tissues and other things by using ultrasound.
In that case, the tape robot can be equipped with X-ray films. Those robots can get their electricity from ultra-thin photovoltaic cells. But they can also get electricity from radiowaves or chemical batteries, like iron-silver electrodes that are in some acid.
Or those robots can be equipped with ultrasound receiver transmitters. The robot can use a regular ultrasound system. But it also can x-ray the layers, by using ultrasound that travel through tissues or other material. And it must also make the ultrasound X-ray images. Those caterpillar robots can also fix bleeding tubes and even blood veins.
