Özet

Micro robotic systems are of growing interest for biomedical applications. The widely preferred means of locomotion for untethered microrobots is swimming via mimicry of single-celled organisms. Furthermore, such organisms are recently considered to be integrated into a micro-robotic system to achieve biocompatibility. The motion control of such bio-hybrid systems poses a considerable challenge due to their size and taxis-behavior. Here, an adaptive motion control scheme is investigated with a simulated coupled system of open kinematic chain and bacterium under in vitro conditions. The said control is achieved through magnetic coupling between the two via a single permanent magnet. The main focus of the study is the effect of the adaptive component and its ability to change the swimming direction of a single E. Coli minicell. Simulation results show that it is theoretically possible to achieve motion control via such an approach.
