This grant is a continuation of N00014-13-1-0551 Direct Electron-Mediated Control of Hybrid Multi-Cellular Robots
Abstract
This project proposes to design, fabricate and test a millimeter-scale, programmable cellular-synthetic hybrid robot capable of autonomous motility, sensing and response in aqueous environments. Three integrated technologies will make this possible: (1) two-way electron transfer between an electrode and E. coli which allows for rapid communication between abiotic core and cells; (2) a flexible polymer + CMOS sensing and computation abiotic core; and (3) synthetic cell adhesion genes which allow for patternable self-assembly of bacterial cells onto the abiotic substrate
