Abstract-Daphnia magna show strong positive phototaxis to blue light. Here, we investigate the effectiveness of behavior control of D. magna by blue light irradiation for their use as bio-micromachines. D. magna immediately respond by swimming toward blue LED light sources. The behavior of individual D. magna was controlled by switching on the LED placed at 15° intervals around a shallow Petri-dish to give a target direction. The phototaxic controllability of Daphnia was much better than the galvanotactic controllability of Paramecium.
