In this study, to examine potential of the bioactuator driven by chemical energy, we tried fabrication of the micromachine driven by insect muscle cells. They have resistance to environment and large contractile force. Heading towards implementation of the micromachine, we designed it and analyzed maximum displacement of the micromachine by simulation. To verify insect muscle cell adhesion to the structure, we did an adhesion experiment. We confirmed cell adhesion to the structure and compared its behavior with that cultured on a dish. The data presented here show the potential that single muscle cell bioactuator may be used as the driving force of micromachine.
