In a collaboration between researchers and doctors at the University of Nebraska, robots for internal, laparoscopic surgery have been created. This illustration shows one of these robots, which can traverse terrain and holds a camera that can tilt, relaying internal images through a small incision.

The illustration was created in 3D Studio Max and Photoshop. It has been used as part of the main display for the BIO 2006 & BIO 2007 international trade show, as well as in an advertisement in United’s Hemispheres inflight magazine.
