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.
