MRI driven magnetic microswimmers.
Capsule endoscopy is a promising technique for diagnosing diseases in the digestive system. Here we design and characterize a miniature swimming mechanism that uses the magnetic fields of the MRI for both propulsion and wireless powering of the capsule. Our method uses both the static and the radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields inherently available in MRI to generate a propulsive force. Our st...
متن کاملPropulsion and Chemotaxis in Bacteria‐Driven Microswimmers
Despite the large body of experimental work recently on biohybrid microsystems, few studies have focused on theoretical modeling of such systems, which is essential to understand their underlying functioning mechanisms and hence design them optimally for a given application task. Therefore, this study focuses on developing a mathematical model to describe the 3D motion and chemotaxis of a type ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Shape Optimization for Magnetic Microswimmers
We analyze an infinite dimensional, geometrically constrained shape optimization problem for magnetically driven microswimmers (locomotors) in three-dimensional (3-D) Stokes flow and give a well-posed descent scheme for computing optimal shapes. The problem is inspired by recent experimental work in this area. We show the existence of a minimizer of the optimization problem using analytical too...
متن کاملChemotaxis of bio-hybrid multiple bacteria-driven microswimmers
In this study, in a bio-hybrid microswimmer system driven by multiple Serratia marcescens bacteria, we quantify the chemotactic drift of a large number of microswimmers towards L-serine and elucidate the associated collective chemotaxis behavior by statistical analysis of over a thousand swimming trajectories of the microswimmers. The results show that the microswimmers have a strong heading pr...
متن کاملVelocity Control with Gravity Compensation for Magnetic Helical Microswimmers
Magnetic helical microswimmers, which swim using a method inspired by the propulsion of bacterial flagella, are promising for use as untethered micromanipulators and as medical microrobots. Man-made devices are typically heavier than their fluid environment and consequently sink due to their own weight. To date, methods to compensate for gravitational effects have been ad hoc. In this paper, we...
