The aim of the investigation is the development of the instruments and technologies for diagnostics and treatment of tube-like human’s organs such as blood vessels and intestines. The medical microrobots may be applied to move along the tube-like organs by the same way as a worm. Such microrobots had been presented in some works in Russia and abroad among them is a project of BMSTU.  The control system of the robot has to adapt the movement process to the peculiarity of the biology environment. The safety of the application of robotic device inside the human body is the main requirement to the construction.
An experimental model of microrobot has three segments which   contracting   successively to ensure progressive movement of the device. The diameter of the robot is smaller than the same of the blood vessel. So it is pressed to the internal cover of the vessel by the special planes to avoid the thrombosis of the vessel. Every segment of robot contain three contact elements, pressure sensors and a regulator to control the pressure of the elements to the internal surface of the vessel. Aboard the robot is a micro-video camera has been mounted to inform the surgeon of the situation inside the vessel and other micro-devices. The supporting plates carry tens metric sensors to control the contact forces. The driver of the robot is of hydraulic type with physiologic solution to avoid the danger of embolism.
Microrobot is a part of the robotic system including also a hydro-driver mounted in the stationary part of the system and intelligent interface of the operator. The surgeon-operator has opportunity to observe the inner surface of the vessel by the sensors mounted aboard the robot and to control the robot movement along the vessel. The construction of the microrobot has to guarantee the stable position of the robot in the moving blood flow and its movement inside the vessel without any damage of the inner surface.
The peculiarity of the microrobot movement is in its cyclic type. The segments of the robot contracts successively and during the cycle they may possess only one of two states – active (contracted) or passive (stretched). The conditions of the transition from one state to another determined only approximately and depend of the current situation. So the mathematical model based on the fuzzy finite state automata concept has been proposed. The transition conditions in the model are determined by fuzzy production rules.
Such microrobots possess more wide possibilities to penetrate to distant parts of human body to perform diagnostic or surgical operation in the less traumatically  way  for the patient and make such operations safer.
