Biomedical Applications of Untethered Mobile Milli/Microrobots (2015, background): “At the submillimeter scale, other significant milestone studies in untethered microrobotics include a study on bacteria-inspired swimming propulsion [54], bacteriapropelled beads [23], [55], steerable electrostatic crawling microrobots [30], catalytic self-propelled microtubular swimmers [24], laser”
Modeling and Experimental Characterization of an Untethered Magnetic Micro-Robot (2009, background): “For others, bacteria are used as a propulsive mechanism, which can only move themselves while immersed in an appropriate fluid environment (Martel et al. 2006 Behkam and Sitti 2007).”
Nanonetworks: A new communication paradigm (2008, methodology): “Another example in line with this approach is the use of bacteria as controlled propulsion mechanisms for the transport of micro-scale objects [10].”
Electrokinetic and optical control of bacterial microrobots (2011, methodology): “marcescens temporarily and in a reversible fashion [19].”
Flagellated Magnetotactic Bacteria as Controlled MRI-trackable Propulsion and Steering Systems for Medical Nanorobots Operating in the Human Microvasculature (2009, neutral): “This demonstration with uncontrolled directional motions was replicated later with chemically stop/resume motion control (Behkam and Sitti 2007) and phototaxis-based stop/resume motion control (Steager et al.”
Bacterial ratchet motors (2009, background): “It has also been shown that motile bacteria can be permanently attached on patterned microbeads resulting in random walks having diffusion coefficients larger than thermal ones (5).”
