To do this, he's invented a tiny insect-sized robot with dental forcep-inspired grips on the top. This will be used to travel between the cracks on two mysterious doors blocking a tomb."

Bravo to the Hong Kong dentist and to all the inventors out there !
Well, I think he's a little bit too long in the tooth to be cutting his teeth on doing archeology, but hey, you never know.
