MicroRoboScope: A Portable and Integrated Mechatronic Platform for Magnetic and Acoustic Microrobotic Experimentation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents the MicroRoboScope, a highly integrated, compact, and portable microrobotic experimentation platform combining electromagnetic and acoustic actuation with real‐time visual feedback into a single, end‐to‐end device. The system enables closed‐loop control and tracking algorithm experimentation within an accessible and unified hardware ...

A Magnetic‐Driven Self‐Rotation‐Stabilized Miniature Swimming Robot

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the stable rotational descent of seeds in nature, this study designs a magnetic‐driven self‐rotation‐stabilized miniature swimming robot (MSMSR). Based on a resonance‐driven strategy, the robot exhibits high swimming performance, offering enhanced directional swimming and improved resistance to water flow disturbances compared to existing ...

Integral Line-of-Sight Curved Path Following of Helical Microswimmers Actuated by Rotating Magnetic Dipoles

CoRR, 2022
This short paper investigates the problem of curved path following for helical microswimmers actuated by rotating magnetic dipoles. The proposed solution, which relies on an integral line-of-sight (ILOS) guidance law, can be utilized in both below and beyond step-out frequency regimes.

Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance of Metamorphic Microrobots Using Concentric Sector Navigator

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Metamorphic magnetic microrobots are navigated using a concentric sector navigator for dynamic obstacle avoidance in both microroller and swarm states. After microroller transport, citrate‐triggered dissolution releases nanoparticles that reassemble into a controllable swarm.

The rotational propulsion characteristics of scaled-up helical microswimmers with different heads and magnetic positioning [PDF]

2013 IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics, 2013
Micro and nanorobots capable of controlled propulsion at low Reynolds number are foreseen to change many aspects of medicine by enabling targeted diagnosis and therapy, and minimally invasive surgery. Several kinds of helical swimmers with different heads actuated by a rotating magnetic field have been proposed in prior works.

Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...

Liquid Crystal Polymers as Intrinsically Magnetic and Programmable Soft Materials for Microrobotics

Small, Volume 22, Issue 42, 27 July 2026.
Liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) are proposed as intrinsically magnetic, programmable, soft materials for microrobotics. Magnetic torque‐driven manipulation of LCP microobjects is achieved and characterized in terms of the step‐out frequency, reaching ∼0.6 Hz in a ∼250 mT magnetic field. The orientation of LCP microobjects in the magnetic field and their
