In fields such as nano-scale robotics and manufacturing researchers have encountered problems in generating motion and force reliably. In recent years many attempts have been made at using micro-organisms to create useable mechanical force. Different approaches have been taken including using swimming bacteria to drive microgears[https://2010.igem.org/Team:SDU-Denmark/project-i#References], move objects[https://2010.igem.org/Team:SDU-Denmark/project-i#References] and to generate organised flow on surfaces and in pump-like systems[https://2010.igem.org/Team:SDU-Denmark/project-i#References],[https://2010.igem.org/Team:SDU-Denmark/project-i#References]. Different attempts at introducing remote control in such systems have also been made using magnetism[https://2010.igem.org/Team:SDU-Denmark/project-i#References], chemical signalling[https://2010.igem.org/Team:SDU-Denmark/project-i#References] and light[https://2010.igem.org/Team:SDU-Denmark/project-i#References]. It seems obvious how synthetic biology might contribute by creating systems for these purposes.
