Microtransformers: controlled microscale navigation with flexible robots [PDF]
, 2018 Artificial microswimmers are a new technology with promising microfluidics and biomedical applications, such as directed cargo transport, microscale assembly, and targeted drug delivery. A fundamental barrier to realising this potential is the ability to

Interaction of the mechanosensitive microswimmer Paramecium with obstacles
bioRxiv, 2022 In this work, we report investigations of the swimming behavior of Paramecium tetraurelia, a unicellular microorganism, in micro-engineered pools that are decorated with thousands of cylindrical pillars.

Miniaturization effect of electroosmotic self-propulsive microswimmer powered by biofuel cell
ROBOMECH Journal, 2019 For future medical microrobotics, we have proposed the concept of the electroosmotic self-propulsive microswimmer powered by biofuel cell. According to the derived theoretical model, its self-propulsion velocity is inversely proportional to the length of

Propulsion Mechanism of Flexible Microbead Swimmers in the Low Reynolds Number Regime
Micromachines, 2020 A propulsion mechanism for a flexible microswimmer constructed from superparamagnetic microbeads with different diameters and subjected to an oscillating field was studied experimentally and theoretically herein. Various types of artificial swimmers with

Galvanotaxis of ciliates: spatiotemporal dynamics of Coleps hirtus under electric fields
New Journal of Physics, 2022 Galvanotaxis describes the functional response of organisms to electric fields. In ciliates, the electric field influences the electrophysiology, and thus, the cilia beat dynamics. This leads to a change of the swimming direction toward the cathode.

Emergent behavior in active colloids [PDF]
, 2016 Active colloids are microscopic particles, which self-propel through viscous fluids by converting energy extracted from their environment into directed motion.

Dynamics of a linear magnetic "microswimmer molecule"
, 2015 In analogy to nanoscopic molecules that are composed of individual atoms, we consider an active "microswimmer molecule". It is built up from three individual magnetic colloidal microswimmers that are connected by harmonic springs and hydrodynamically ...
