Is A Sperm Robot Coming To You?
Single-cell management has traditionally been accomplished with pipettes, optical tweezers, or specialized small volume designs. Now, other bio-inspired methods rely on controlling applied magnetic forces, such as the wireless control of microrobots.
Artoo: Ruby on Robots
From Artoo, a ruby framework, that supports 15 platforms including ARrone, Crazyflie, Sphero, and Arduino:
Modular Example
require 'artoo/robot'
SPHEROS = ["4567", "4568", "4569", "4570", "4571"]
class SpheroRobot < Artoo::Robot
connection :sphero, :adaptor => :sphero
device :sphero, :driver => :sphero
work do
every(3.seconds) do
sphero.roll 90, rand(360)
end
end
end
robots = []
SPHEROS.each {|p|
robots << SpheroRobot.new(:connections =>
{:sphero =>
{:port => p}})
}
SpheroRobot.work!(robots)
