A Stepwise Control of Multiple Magnetic Millirobots for Flow Manipulation Applications

Abstract

Stepwise Control of Multiple Magnetic Millirobots In article number 2300483, Chia-Yuan Chen and co-workers report an advanced motion control strategy in which multiple magnetic millirobots were controlled externally to exhibit distinct modes of motion independently for coordinative and collaborative behaviors. The presented work can serve as an initial step towards enabling collective intelligence in small-scale robotic systems aiming to realize artificial swarm intelligence technologies for various micromanipulation tasks selectively.
