Insect‐scale crawling robots can traverse confined environments; nevertheless, their functionalities are predominantly restricted to sensing because of challenges in integrating actuated degrees of freedom. Herein, a miniature rotary electrostatic clutch is presented by incorporating cutting patterns in the clutch layer.

Design of a Reconfigurable Microfluidic System Enabled by Magnetic Miniature Robots
Magnetic miniature robots are integrated into microfluidic chips to achieve real‐time reconfiguration. By external magnetic actuation, the robots perform sorting, mixing, flow regulation, and bubble removal on demand. This versatile platform eliminates the need for complex on‐chip hardware and enables adaptive control for biological and chemical ...
