The potential to directly harness photosynthesis to make actuators, biosensors and bioprocessors has been previously demonstrated in the literature. Herein, this capability has been expanded to more advanced systems - Marimo Actuated Rover Systems (MARS) - which are capable of autonomous, solar powered, movement.
We demonstrate this ability is both a practical and viable alternative to conventional mobile platforms for exploration and dynamic environmental monitoring. Prototypes have been successfully tested to measure their speed of travel and ability to automatically bypass obstacles. Further, MARS is electromagnetically silent, thus avoiding the background noise generated by conventional electro/mechanical platforms which reduces instrument sensitivity. The cost of MARS is significantly lower than platforms based on conventional technology.
An autonomous, low-cost, lightweight, compact size, photosynthetically powered rover is reported. The potential for further system enhancements are identified and under development.
此前文献已证明直接利用光合作用制造致动器、生物传感器和生物处理器的潜力。在此，这种能力已扩展到更先进的系统——海松藻驱动漫游系统（MARS），该系统能够自主地、太阳能驱动地移动。
我们证明了这种能力对于传统移动平台用于探索和动态环境监测而言，是一种切实可行的替代方案。原型已成功测试，以测量其行进速度和自动绕过障碍物的能力。此外，MARS电磁静默，从而避免了传统电动/机械平台产生的背景噪声，而这种噪声会降低仪器灵敏度。MARS的成本显著低于基于传统技术的平台。
报道了一种自主、低成本、轻量级、紧凑尺寸、光合驱动的漫游车。确定了进一步增强系统的潜力并正在开发中。
