Abstract :
With the development of the Micro/Nano technology and it overlaps and interacts with other subjects, it will be possible that the nanorobot goes into the blood vessel to diagnose and treatment. It is obviously a very challenging task. Based on my previous research work, and in view of the movement mechanism of flagellum bacteria, I conceive a novel vascular nanorobot which takes artificial flagellum as kinematic mechanism and is driven by the external rotational magnetic field-artificial flagellum nanorobot. The robot consists two parts, and one is the ellipsoid head, and the other is artificial flagellum tail. The tail model is studied according to the resistance force theory, and the robot model is set up by N-S equations. After modeling the robot, I do the motion simulation in MATLAB, and the simulation results show that the proposed model is feasible.
