Propulsion Mechanisms in Magnetic Microrobotics: From Single Microrobots to Swarms. [PDF]
Micromachines (Basel)Microrobots with different structures can exhibit multiple propulsion mechanisms under external magnetic fields. Swarms dynamically assembled by microrobots inherit the advantages of single microrobots, such as degradability and small dimensions, while also offering benefits like scalability and high flexibility.
