In biomedical engineering, robotic implants have shown new methods to restore and improve bodily function and regenerate tissue. A significant challenge with the design of these devices is to safely actuate them for weeks or months while they reside in a patient's body. The application of a rotating…
This paper addresses the challenge of actuating millimetre-sized motors, which are wirelessly driven by external magnetic fields. Traditional approaches, relying on rotating magnetic fields, often inadvertently cause the entire robot – especially if it is small and lightweight – to rotate, instead o…
