In this letter, we propose a mobile microgripper actuated using laser optothermal and magnetic actuation in liquid environments. This hybrid actuation scheme allows the full decoupling between the in-plane positioning of the mobile microgripper and the actuation of its gripping mechanism, which redu
In-vivo and in-vitro micro-interventions by mobile robotic agents require their precise control. Numerous types of microrobotic swimmers have been developed, assuming different peculiar applications, but often suffering from a lack of mobility and robustness, due to their unique propulsion mode.

Magnetically actuated micro/nano robots are promising to various biological and medical applications in wet environments. In order to improve robots control, robustness and efficiency, real time 3D topographical surface analysis are essential especially for their navigation under such wet and confin…
