| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to create a livingmachined wetrobotics with a photo-chemo-mechanical energy conversion function, we used genetic engineering for myocytes with photosensitive ion channels, which is a protein that plays a role of causing ion influx inside and outside the cell by light irradiation. We combined the MEMS device with its muscle cell and experimented the photocontrol of muscle tissue and succeeded in driving the microrobot by the optically driven bioactuator.
