Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to control bio-machine hybrid systems in decentralized manner by exploiting mechanical stimulations. This type of robots locomote by utilizing cooperation between cardiac cells Here, cardiac cells play a role of not only actuators for locomotion but also sensor for detection of mechanical stimulation. The propose robots can improve their body structure dynamically during cell culturing. We found that we may control locomotion style of the proposed robots by changing the collagen sheets as the substrates of cardiac cells.
