AboutAbout the lab
Building electronic circuits and mechanical systems that behave like living organisms
The Bio-inspired Microsystems Lab explores fabrication technologies and their application to microdevices, building on microfabrication and biocompatible micromachine (Bio-MEMS) technology.
The lab's website explains that rigid silicon-based MEMS devices break easily through contact with liquids or friction.
To address this, the lab uses microfabrication of diverse materials to develop flexible, highly durable microrobots and other devices.
In addition to international collaboration with UCSD in the US, the lab conducts joint research with biology labs, research institutions, and companies in Japan and abroad.
Key terms
- MEMS
- Micro-electromechanical systems. Rigid silicon-based ones break easily through contact with liquids or friction.
- Bio-MEMS
- Biocompatible micromachine technology. It uses microfabrication of diverse materials to make tiny machines and elements that are compatible with living tissue.
ResearchResearch themes
Medicine and life sciences are expected to advance to large-scale direct manipulation at the cellular level and batch treatment of individual cells. As a promising way to achieve this, the lab is working on batch formation of microrobot structures through microfabrication.
