Two application examples of a fish-type microrobot driven by external magnetic fields were described. One is a robot operation system for science education. The system consists of a man-machine interface and a power amplifier connecting to a drive coil. Since the motion of the caudal fin of the robot synchronized with that of the interface, the operation was quite intuitive. A trial demonstration for upper elementary school students indicated that the operation system would be useful as a science educational tool. The other is an experimental tool for understanding small fish swimming. Due to the wireless magnetically operation, the flow around the robot is not disturbed by power supply wire. In this study, we observed water flow around the robot by particle image velocimetry (PIV) method. As a result, it was shown that reverse Karman Vortex street was created by the caudal fin.
