In war, an ideal solution would be to have a smart device that could both detect, and then eradicate an enemy. The same is true with cancer. I would assume the robotics that the article is referring to, is the use of nanotechnology which may not be a hard 'pill' to swallow. Tiny nano-pill devices that can detect unique cancer cells and then deliver a drug molecule, or even a heat pulsating shock wave to eradicate the cancer cell certainly is an objective that researchers are now working on with the promise of that technology available in 10 to fifteen years from now.
