Abstract
This study explores the potential and challenges of using tiny in-vivo robots for medical diagnostics and therapy. While currently experimental and costly, technological advances may soon make them more affordable and essential, given the global shortage of medical specialists. The focus is on patient perspectives, as they are central to both technology acceptance and ethical considerations. The aim is to understand the perceived pros and cons of using in-vivo robots and factors influencing individual willingness to adopt them for medical purposes.
