Acoustic actuation of bioinspired microswimmers is experimentally demonstrated.
Microswimmers are fabricated in situ in a microchannel. Upon acoustic excitation, the
flagellum of the microswimmer oscillates, which in turn generates linear or rotary movement
depending on the swimmer design. The speed of these bioinspired microswimmers is tuned
by adjusting the voltage amplitude applied to the acoustic transducer. Simple
microfabrication and remote actuation are promising for biomedical applications.
