| Abstract: | Biohybrid microrobots are an emerging research area for in vivo applications, such as minimally invasive surgeries and local drug delivery. However, predicting the behaviour of these microrobots is challenging, multiple parameters influence the behaviour of microrobots. This paper focuses on the frequency actuation of IRONSperm with different concentrations of nanoparticles. IRONSperm is a type of nanoparticle-coated bull sperm cells and is actuated by a rotating magnetic field. The rotation magnetic field allows the biohybrid microrobot to interact with a surface resulting in a translational velocity. It is demonstrated how an increase in nanoparticles influences the cut-off frequency by looking at the translational velocity. The response showed no effect of the increase in nanoparticles on the cut-off frequency. |
