Control and controllability of microswimmers by a shearing flow [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2021
With the continuing rapid development of artificial microrobots and active particles, questions of microswimmer guidance and control are becoming ever more relevant and prevalent. In both the applications and theoretical study of such microscale swimmers, control is often mediated by an engineered property of the swimmer, such as in the case of ...
