Three-degrees-of-freedom orientation manipulation of small untethered robots with a single anisotropic soft magnet

Abstract Magnetic actuation has been well exploited for untethered manipulation and locomotion of small-scale robots in complex environments such as intracorporeal lumens. Most existing magnetic actuation systems employ a permanent magnet onboard the robot. However, only 2-DoF orientation of the per...
