Insect based automatic precise navigation of piezo driven micro robots for artificial insemination

Abstract

The small size robots less that 1 cubic inch have the potential benefits with the special tasks of such the facility maintenances and the microscopic operation with sub micron resolution as well. For these years, our group have been developed unique piezo driven tiny robots for precise production. However it is difficult to carry out precise artificial insemination robot manually from the problem of measuring accurate coordinate positions or over range of microscopic field. Here it has been also increased that the demand for automatic fine manipulation for bio cell surgeries. This paper describes the insect based precise navigation for the piezo driven micro robots system to provide the automatic insemination and incubation processes. These small robots with several range sensors can communicate each other and navigate themselves with the simple control sequences similar to insect behavior. In the experiment results, it is demonstrated that the male and the female robots succeeded in executing accurate navigation, insemination and incubation by using a fish egg.
