Our technology is a swarm of kinesin-propelled microtransporters. DNA-conjugated microtubules collaborate to load a cargo under visible light , move and then unload the cargo at a desired area predefined with a UV photomask. Inspired from universal swarming behaviors observed in nature, this collaborative micro-robot has programmable interactions and controllable transportation functionalities in vivo, demonstrating remarkable parallelism, robustness and flexibility.
Current development status
Laboratory prototypes
The capacity of the transporter has been measured for both single microtubule and swarm of microtubules (cargo size, loaded and unloaded travelled distance, speed, etc.). The controllability for loading cargo and unloading at a pre-defined area has also been confirmed (loading under visible light, unloading under UV light).
Applications
Water treatment
Mirco-transportation task
Drug Delivery
Micro-robotics
We are open to suggestions for new applications and will be interested in investigating the feasibility and commercial applicability.
Desired business relationship
Patent licensing
Technology development
New technology applications
We are looking for a partner willing to use our system and are open to different collaboration modalities, from technical support to joint research.
Kyoto University was founded in 1897, the second university to be established in Japan. Kyoto University is among 10 National Designated Universities in Japan. It boasts 18 graduate schools, 10 faculties, 12 research institutes, and 26 centers and other establishments. Research conducted at Kyoto University spans the full spectrum of fields from social to natural science.
The outstanding research conducted at Kyoto University gives birth to useful technologies that could greatly benefit society. IAC (Office of Institutional Advancement and Communications) was established at Kyoto University to bridge the gap between researchers and industry. We facilitate joint research, technology transfer, creation of university startups, and provide entrepreneurial education. We are building a strong network of global industry partners to make sure basic research reaches the market.
