Abstract

Recently, micro-nano robots and bio-MEMS are developed for application to various fields. However, motors which are robot's power are not yet practical. To realize the micro robot's power source, we try to establish bio-hybrid motor by using surface swarming of Vibrio alginolyticus. First, we fabricated asymmetric shape micro gear by photolisography technics, and succeeded in driving the micro gear on bacterial sheet. Next, to improve rotational speed, we fabricated the open micro channel, and succeeded in driving the gear. Furthermore, we try to control rotational speed by changing environmental temperature. Thus, we achieved to construct base of bio-hybrid motor.
