Bio-hybrid cell-based actuators for microsystems.
Rika Wright Carlsen,Metin Sitti +1 more
TL;DR: The continued integration of biological and artificial components is envisioned to enable the performance of tasks at a smaller and smaller scale in the future, leading to the parallel and distributed operation of functional systems at the microscale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic steering control of multi-cellular bio-hybrid microswimmers
TL;DR: A method of remote magnetic control that significantly reduces the stochasticity of the motion, enabling steering control of bio-hybrid microswimmers propelled by multiple bacterial cells is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
pH-taxis of biohybrid microsystems
TL;DR: A method is presented that exploits the pH sensing of flagellated bacteria to realize robust drift control of multi-bacteria propelled microrobots and finds that the swimming direction and speed biases are two major factors that contribute to their tactic drift motion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near and far-wall effects on the three-dimensional motion of bacteria-driven microbeads
TL;DR: In this article, a defocused optical tracking method was used to quantify the three-dimensional motion of 5'μm diameter polystyrene beads driven by attached Serratia marcescens bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of structural anisotropy in computational models of traumatic brain injury
TL;DR: This paper summarizes recent computational studies that have incorporated structural anisotropy in both the material definition of the white matter and the injury criterion as a means to improve the predictive capabilities of computational models for TBI.
