Do not want long instruments inserted into your body for medial detection? You have a new option. That is to swallow a camera instead. While pill cameras are nothing new, this one seems to be the most mobile of any I have seen with the ability to 'crawl'. If that makes you feel a bit unnerved, do not look at the Vein Crawling Robots.

"People who dislike having medical cameras snake through their body on the ends of long tubing now have a fun alternative. A new remote-controlled spider bot can scuttle around inside the colon or intestine and perform a medical inspection instead."
