Biomimetic Design an Performance Analysis of Micro-Robot in Low Reynolds Number Environments

Micro-robots designed for low Reynolds number environments are bound to overcome significant viscous resistance and operate using non-reciprocal motion patterns. So, this article will develop a biomimetic robot inspired by flagellar propulsion like some bacteria or sperm, and an analysis of this robots dynamic performances, employing computational modeling and experimental validation. The similar results between the ideal situation simulated in MATLAB and experimental data show that this kind of robot can provide good energy efficiency and optimized motion in viscous fluids for biomedical and microfluidic applications.
