ゾウリムシへのゲル製作業用具の装着と搬送作業アルゴリズムの検討

We have been investigating how to use Paramecium for bio-micromachines. Paramecium was controlled by the weak electrical field by applying their negative galvanotaxis. In our previous paper, we succeeded controlling paramecium very stably for over 100 laps along the star-shaped target route in the vertical plane pool. We also succeeded to transport the object by using Paramecium. We also found that the softness of the object is important for Paramecium to transport. Therefore, based on these facts, we succeeded dropping the gel ball from the shelf in the designated direction, continuously in three shelves. Therefore, in this report, we developed an algorithm for transporting objects for Paramecium which makes possibility of collision high by setting a route consisting of 4 points. In this paper, we also investigated how to make a soft operation tool made of super gel and attach it to a Paramecium. We found that if we insert a Paramecium to a hole in a super gel film, the activity of Paramecium did not decrease.
