Description

As microscopic swimmers survive in nature, they have evolved unique structures and swimmingpatterns under the water, which has special advantages. The movement of bacteria at lowReynolds number (Re) environment has aroused extensive research interest. The two typical
swimming methods of bacteria are introduced in this paper. Based on this, we are inspired to design the bionic robot on a micro-scale, which is an artificial
structure that imitates the external shape, movement principle and behavior mode of organisms innature. Compared with traditional robots, nano bionic robots are easier to miniaturize[1]. Theyalso have higher maneuverability so that they can move continuously and flexibly. We expect tosimulate its motion at low Reynolds number (Re) fluids and explore complex future applicationsin dif erent fields.
