Collectives of Spinning Mobile Microrobots for Navigation and Object Manipulation at the Air-Water Interface

We use multiple spinning micro-rafts at the air-water interface as mobile microrobot collectives and present here their collective behaviors, including navigating around anchored obstacles, and trapping and transporting floating objects. The 3D-printed micro-rafts are circular disKS of 100 μm in dia…
