Brain surgery with performed by an nanorobot

Australian scientists have created a nanorobot of only 250 nanometer in diameter and the thickness of only 2-3 hairs, which can be injected to perform complicated operations on the brain.

"We are trying to make something that can be inserted into human arteries, where conventional technologies used in medicine can not be used," said the French Press Agency James Friend, a researcher at the Laboratory nanophysics Monash University in Clayton, Australia, co - author of the study appeared in the magazine Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering.

The main difficulty in this concept is to get a motor able to supply him with enough energy to perform tasks.

The prototype of nanorobot was named Proteus, after the name used in miniature submarine in the SF film "Fantastic Voyage" (1966). In the film a submarine is miniaturized with all the team of physicians in it and they enter into the bloodstream of a former Soviet agent and remove a blood clot on the brain.

I have epilepsy, g/mal, peti/mal, and photosensitivity.
I have had to take medication for years and would rather have lost a toe or something, than rather put up with this epilepsy for the rest of my life.
I would be quite happy to be a guinea -pig if it got rid of my syndrom.
Can your nanorobot help me ?
