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.

MRI driven magnetic microswimmers [PDF]
Biomedical Microdevices, 2011 Capsule endoscopy is a promising technique for diagnosing diseases in the digestive system. Here we design and characterize a miniature swimming mechanism that uses the magnetic fields of the MRI for both propulsion and wireless powering of the capsule. Our method uses both the static and the radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields inherently available in

Interaction‐Driven Assembly Pathways in Heterogeneous Active Microrobotic Systems
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 73, 10 September 2026.Peanut‐ and cube‐shaped light‐powered microrobots exhibit distinct magnetic and photocatalytic responses that determine their heterogeneous self‐assembly. In the dark, magnetic dipole interactions drive colloidal copolymerization with cubes acting as nucleation centers, whereas under light irradiation, phoretic interactions compete with magnetic ...

Stirring by periodic arrays of microswimmers [PDF]
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016 The interaction between swimming micro-organisms or artificial self-propelled colloids and passive (tracer) particles in a fluid leads to enhanced diffusion of the tracers. This enhancement has attracted strong interest, as it could lead to new strategies to tackle the difficult problem of mixing on a microfluidic scale. Most of the theoretical work on
