MICROROBOTS FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATION Sukho, Park Associate Professor School of Mechanical Systems Engineering, Robot Research Initiative (RRI), Chonnam National University spark@jnu.ac.kr Until now, several microrobots have been developed for biomedical applications. This talk presents some experiences on medical robots of RRI. Firstly, capsular endoscope robot and multi-functional endoscope robot are introduced. Especially, among several functions of the capsular endoscope, we focused on the locomotive function in the intestinal organ. Therefore, a locomotive capsule endoscope with self propulsion ability is presented. Secondly, we had a pioneering research experience about cardiomyocyte actuated microrobot. The microrobot is actuated by the contractile force of cultured cardiomyocyte cell. The speaker presents the motivation of the cardiomyocyte research, the fabrication procedure, and the mobility of the cardiomyocyte microrobot. Thirdly, a proposed intravascular therapeutic microrobot and several electromagnetic actuation systems for the intravascular microrobot are introduced. In addition, the in-vivo experimental feasibility result of the microrobot is presented. Fourthly, the concept of bacteria actuated microrobot is introduced. In the bacteria actuated microrobot, the bacteria can be used as an actuator and a sensor. Finally, ongoing researches on medical robots in RRI are briefly mentioned. Through this presentation, the speaker wants to introduce several valuable experiences of biomedical microrobots of RRI.
