Giant Artificial Bacterial Flagella (GABF)
Inspired by the flagellar motion of bacteria such as Escherichia Coli, microrobots have been proposed for future biomedical applications in which they are able to navigate in viscous fluidic environments.
The MSRLab is developing magnetically controlled Artificial Bacterial Flagella (ABF) for targeted drug delivery. The aim of this project is to design and fabricate a macro scale ABF and compare it with our micro swimmers.
