Robotic Sperm (also called spermbots) are "sperm-based biobots" developed by trapping single sperm cells inside metal nanotubes and remotely controlling their direction using magnets. The robots may have potential applications in drug delivery or small-scale manufacturing.〔 ==Design== The simple design has a metal-coated head and a flexible body about six times longer than a human sperm. The nanotubes are essentially thin sheets of titanium and iron. They have a magnetic property. First they are rolled into conical tubes- with one end wider than the other. Then the nanotubes are put into a solution in a Petri dish and added bovine sperm cells. A live sperm cell is added at the wider end of the tube and it became trapped down near the narrow end. As the scientists closed the wider end, the sperm wouldn't come out. And because sperm are so determined, the trapped cell pushed against the tube, moving it forward. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://mashable.com/2014/01/15/remote-control-spermbot/ )〕
