Magnetic helical micro-robots (microbots) have attracted strong interest due to their unique propulsion mechanisms and potential applications in biomedical fields, particularly in minimally-invasive surgical procedures. Earlier research primarily focused on studying helical microbots in viscous liqu
Adaptive locomotion is an advanced function of microrobots that can be achieved using smart materials. In this letter, a responsive hydrogel is utilized as a smart material and used to fabricate Helical Adaptive Multi-material MicroRobots (HAMMRs) with deformable tails to achieve adaptive locomotion
Adaptive locomotion of microrobots can be achieved by using a smart polymer such as a hydrogel. For hydrogel-based bilayer helical microrobots, the change of environment such as temperature and pH can result in shape deformation into helical shapes differing from their initial state and hence swimmi…
