Teams that can show their system working under real world conditions are usually good at impressing the judges in iGEM. To achieve gold medal criterion #4, convince the judges that your project works. There are many ways in which your project working could be demonstrated, so there is more than one way to meet this requirement. This gold medal criterion was introduced in 2016, so check our what 2016 teams did to achieve a their gold medals!

If you have built a proof of concept system, you can demonstrate it working under real world conditions. If you have built a biological device that is intended to be a sensor, can you show it detecting whatever it is intended to sense. If it is intended to work in the field, you can show how this might work using a simulated version in the lab, or a simulation of your device in the field.<strong> Please note biological materials must not be taken out of the lab</strong>.

DEMONSTRATE


Here we are able to show that bacteria can control a robot. Our experimental setup provides an extraordinarily safe procedure as the bacterial culture and the moving robot are spatially separated from each other.

We have managed to show that our project could work. Each part in itself is functional: The bioreactor offers optimal conditions for the microorganisms. To keep the optical density of the bacterial culture in range, we combined various hardware parts into a fully functioning system. The control system represents a communication hub between the hardware components of the project. The fluorescence chamber is a self-built measuring instrument for determining the intensity of protein fluorescence. Eventually, the robot solves all tasks given to it, as can be seen in video 1. It shows a test run, in which the robot acts in its natural environment. It is connected to the control system server, but the microbiological part of the system is carried out by a computer that simulates a reaction of the microorganisms. In contrast, video 2 shows a preliminary experiment in which the system completely merges into a biohybrid entity.

Vid. 1: A Thymio II combined with a Raspberry Pi is driving around in an arena according to signals sent from a simulated bacterial culture.
Vid. 2: The modified Thymio robot reacts to the signals read from a fluorescing bacterial culture.
