Model Predictive Control for Magnetically Actuated Cellbots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Magnetically actuated cellbots, formed by embedding microrobots in living cells, are steered along precise paths using a model predictive controller enhanced with a Gaussian process disturbance estimator. The data‐efficient method calibrates each cellbot individually, cutting modeling error by roughly 60% and enabling accurate navigation through cell ...
