Abstract
This paper demonstrates a microbial-robot that swim in low Reynolds number environments powered by flagellated bacteria. To immobilize the flagellated bacteria strongly, we utilized bacterial cellulose which is microfabricated by a new method. A large number of flagellated bacteria immobilized on the bacterial cellulose power the robotic body and a useful work is extracted.
