Autonomous Micro-Robot Like Sperm based on Piezoelectric Actuator

摘要

Most cases of poor fertilization suffered by men due to the abnormal shape of sperm, weak sperm activity, few numbers of sperm, or the high viscosity of semen. In this paper, an autonomous micro-robot like sperm has been designed that helps the couple to complete the fertility process which, the physical structure of the proposed micro-robot has been described. Micro-Robot mathematical model has been derived based on observation of sperm motion to evaluate the required thrust force produced by the micro-robot tail. The piezoelectric system has been used for implementing the motion generation of robots. The proposed robot is simulated by Solidworks software, which the simulation results indicated to the success of the proposed design and ability to generate thrust force for the robot.
