Abstract
In recent years, the necessity and importance of micro-robot has been growing in industrial areas, medical areas, and so on. In this study, we developed in-pipe micro traveling robot. The moving mechanism by expansion and contraction of the balloon pressure using friction with the vessel wall, which is peristaltic movement. Therefore, it is considered that the impact of blood flow is great. But experiments that are intended to be blood flow has not been done. In this study, experiments were performed using the current. In addition, is provided as a mechanism releasing the blood flow. Experiments to verify how much the flow rate is released in the mechanism were done. Or more we experimented and verified whether in-pipe traveling micro-robot can correspond to blood flow.
