Autonomous Navigation of Pollen‐Inspired Magnetic Microrobots for Biomedical Applications
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A sunflower pollen‐inspired magnetic microrobot enables controlled rolling navigation in vessel‐like environments. Its open geometry reduces hydrodynamic drag, while vision‐based closed‐loop control, shortest‐path planning, and reinforcement learning support target‐reaching and maze navigation with microrobot‐scale accuracy, highlighting a route toward
