Reconfigurable magnetic microrobot swarm: Multimode transformation, locomotion, and manipulation

Hui Xie, Mengmeng Sun, Xinjian Fan, Zhihua Lin et al.

Short summary

A new strategy uses alternating magnetic fields to program hematite colloidal particles into four distinct microrobot swarm modes (liquid, chain, vortex, ribbon) with fast, reversible transformations, enabling diverse collective behaviors for manipulation and locomotion.
