Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the study of slime type robot, we aimed "expansion of scale" of molecular robot. Specifically, using a polymer gel as a reaction field, a heterogeneous reaction space of order of millimeter is generated, and various molecular devices are operated on it. This concept ultimately aims at realization of macroscopic functions such as taxis. The results obtained in the project include a method of controlling reaction/diffusion behavior of molecular devices based on quantitative measurement in a gel, development of various new gel actuators, a method of controlling sol-gel phase transition, and a theoretical framework called “gel automaton” for programming the discrete reaction fields defined on the cell space of the gel.
