Bio-actuated, especially flagellated bacteria-driven, micro/nanorobots have been actively studied to develop novel technologies such as drug delivery systems (DDS), though the characteristics of the actuator (flagellar motor) have not been sufficiently investigated. For analysis or control of the bacterial flagellar motor, we previously proposed the local environmental control system with nano/micro...
In this paper, we introduce an untethered type of magnetically driven microtool (MMT) with a force sensing function to investigate the stimulus characteristics of aquatic microorganisms in a microfluidic chip. The microchip is composed of the proposed MMTs, which have a Si-Ni hybrid structure, a transparent cover made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a glass substrate, and a microspacer to prevent...
In this paper, we propose 3DOF dual-arm microrobots which enabling manipulation and force sensing for a single cell of microorganisms in a microfluidic chip. The untethered microrobots are actuated by permanent magnets which can supply mN order force to stimulate microorganisms and measure the applied force where we want to measure them. The design and fabrication of the untethered microrobots with...
