Swarm of Bacteria Builds Tiny Pyramid
Loading...
Uploaded by spectrummag on Dec 1, 2009
A robotic micro-assembly process relies on several thousand flagellated bacteria acting as micro-workers to build a pyramidal structure. Work presented at IROS '09 by Sylvain Martel and Mahmood Mohammadi from the NanoRobotics Laboratory, École Polytechnique de Montréal, Canada. For more robot news, visit http://spectrum.ieee.org

@JetSetForLife yeah, that makes more sense.

@moegreen2 a magnetic field actually

so they guided the bacteria with light or sound waves, right? its impressive.

i like the 1 guy who clicked "Dislike" on this video..
"hmm what's this? computers manipulating invisible micro-organisms to arrange complex shapes and recorded with a microscope then placed on a free video service accessible to anyone on the planet 24 hours a day? FUCK THIS"

Careful enslaving the bacteria to build your pyramids. You might wake up one morning to find phage blood smeared on your door and your first-born children dead; meanwhile, Bacterial Moses is parting the petri dish and leading his organisms to freedom.
