Can anyone answer my post from the last page?

Very curios if what I have below is going to be possible within the next 15-20 years.

What is going to "power" the nanobots that will be in our bodies? The electricity we produce?


Also, for medical diagnosis will we ever be able to somehow "plug" into a computer which will display all known issues with the body? Everything from torn muscles, herniated discs, nerves, bones, body temperature -- basically everything? Even for sports performance, power lifting, etc.

Would love for something like that to be instantaneous, possibly even with personal computers so we could diagnose ourselves and seek help accordingly.

Going to 4 different doctors and getting X-Rays and MRI's I hope would soon be obsolete.

I believe the plan, or one of the plans is to just use the electromagnetic field generated by our bodies. And yes, eventually Nanobots would easily be able to detect and monitor every aspect of your body. Heart rate, toxins in your blood, etc.

As far as normal Robots/Androids go, I believe they already developed an artificial skin material that is solar powered and can detect pressure and chemical changes. I will try to find the article about that.

edit - Found it.

Love the robot video. Slowly but surely we're progressing with robotics. Processing power is the main thing holding us back really. Even more so than AI programming imo.
