Microrobotic cargo delivery possesses promising perspective for precision medicine, and has attracted much attention recently. However, its automation remains challenging, especially with complex environmental conditions, such as obstacles and obstructed optical feedback. In this paper, we propose a…
Microrobots are considered as promising tools for biomedical applications. However, the imaging of them becomes challenges in order to be further applied on in vivo environments. Here we report the magnetic navigation of a paramagnetic nanoparticle-based swarm using ultrasound images. The swarm can…
In this letter, we report a miniature swimming robot that consists of a nonmagnetic V-shaped head, an I-shaped tail attached with a magnet and a flexible link for interconnection of the rigid head and tail. The use of a flexible link enables the robot to exhibit two different vibration modes by tuni
Helical microswimmers capable of propulsion at low Reynolds numbers have been proposed for numerous applications. Several different kinds of helical swimmers inspired by E. coli bacteria have been proposed by researchers, and most of them have rigid helical tails. However, high softness could make s…
