Magnetically Actuated Millirobot.
In this project, A low-cost Magnetic millirobot that is simple in design, easy to fabricate,
highly scalable, and can be used as modular sub-units within
complex structures for large-scale manipulation. Individual millirobots are
highly agile and capable of performing a variety of locomotive
tasks such as pivot walking, tapping, and tumbling.
Magnetic millirobots can be controlled remotely by
external magnetic fields, making them promising candidates for
biomedical and engineering applications.
