| Research Abstract |
In this project, the purpose was developing the method named "autonomous manipulation of multiple bacteria-driven microrobots using single guiderobot", which might be effective when the bacteria-driven microrobots are practically applied for DDS etc. As the results, the feasibility of the proposed method was verified by using micro/nanopipettes as the attractant source instead of the guiderobot. Assembly technique of single-bacterium-driven microobjects was established, and it was shown that the bacterium-driven microobjects are suitable for the bacteria-driven microrobots in the proposed method. And, as the first step toward the optimal design of the guiderobots, more dynamic and arbitrary local environmental control system for the analysis of the characteristics of the flagellar motors was proposed and developed.
