“…In 2013, Jian Feng and Sung Kwon Cho proposed a kind of two-dimensionally steering microswimmer propelled by oscillating bubbles [17]. In 2012, Yan-Hom Li and He-Ching Lin proposed a novel steering technology of magnetic micro-swimmers under an oscillating field [18]. In 2011, J. Scogna and J. Olkowski proposed a kind of microswimmer which could be controlled in one dimension for drug delivery and the size was only 7–8 μm [19].…”

In the biomedical field, a wireless microrobot in a pipe which can move smoothly in water or other aqueous mediums has been urgently demanded. In this paper, several methods of designing a novel microrobot with symmetrical motion characteristics have been discussed and a new kind of wireless microrobot has been developed. According to the modelling analysis, we considered two kinds of common cases occurring in vertical motion, which required gravity compensation. Based on two groups of simulations and experiments on forward-backward motion, upward-downward motion and inclined plane motion, the results and dynamic error evaluation indicated that the wireless microrobot with symmetrical structure could realize similar kinematic characteristics in the horizontal motion. The gravity compensation played an important role in the design process, and the performance of the vertical motion had been improved by gravity compensation. With this method, we made the wireless microrobot realize symmetrical motion characteristics, and simplified the control strategies. Finally, a control panel for our system was designed, which could control the current motion states more intuitively and far more easily through the buttons. The developed wireless microrobot would be very useful in the industrial application and microsurgery application.

“…When the frequency changes from 0Hz to 10Hz, the fin motion is superior; when the frequency is over 10Hz, the spiral motion is superior. Scogna and Olkowski [9] developed a drug delivery system composed of the polystyrene bead coupled with many flagella. The PS bead acted as the drug delivery can, and the flagella acted as propeller.…”

In this paper, a new 6-DOF bionic swimming robot with two screw propellers and one balance paddle is designed. This robot can swim up-and-down and roll without any effect on forward motion. The spiral swimming method is modeled and analyzed firstly. In order to optimize the bionic robots structures, the motion resistance and propulsive force are simulated and calculated. Also, experiments are performed to verify the action principle and the optimal analysis results of the robot. Key words:Bionic, Micro swimming robot, vascular unclogging, paddle
