Programming structural and magnetic anisotropy for tailored interaction and control of soft microrobots

Abstract Swarms of soft microrobots controlled by minimally invasive magnetic fields show promise as biomedical agents. The collective behaviour of such swarms, governed by magnetic and hydrodynamic interactions, emerges from the properties of their individual constituents. The introduction of both...
