In this paper, we report a microfabrication approach to patterned three-dimensional growth of muscle cells for powering biohybrid microdevices. The microwells confined by adhesion-resistant polyethylene glycol (PEG) microstructures were patterned on SiO 2 -based substrate with controllable surface topography for muscle cell culturing. The morphology and motility of neonatal rat cardiac myocytes...
In order to develop the cell based robot, we presented a micro-mechanical force measurement system for the biological muscle actuators, which utilize glucose as a power source for potential application in digestive organ. The proposed system is composed of a micro-manipulator, a force transducer with a glass probe, a signal processor, an inverted microscope and video recording system. Using this measurement...
We present a microfabricated three-dimensional (3-D) hybrid biopolymer microcantilever which can measure the contractile force of cardiomyocytes and analyze the force dependence on different types of surface. To make different conditions of the cell seeding surface, we fabricated the specific type of cantilever which was grooved on the surface. The presented cantilever was facilitated to measure bending...
