Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed a novel process for assembling microstructures that are functional, flexible, and dynamic. As an example, we present the assembly of a microscopic robot arm actuated by an external magnet. Diverse particles modified with DNA strands are used for the assembly, and the flexible connection formed by the DNA strands provides the control and dynamic capabilities of the microstructure. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because it overcomes the limitations of assembling microstructures using conventional lithographic processes and opens a new possibility to reazlize microscale autonomous machines.
