As a next-generation toolkit, microrobots can transform a wide range of fields, including
micromanufacturing, electronics, microfluidics, tissue engineering, and medicine. While still …

Thermal ratchets can extract useful work from random fluctuations. This is common in the
molecular scale, such as motor proteins, and has also been used to achieve directional …

Thermo-osmotic flow around a microparticle in a liquid is characterized by observing and
analyzing the distribution of tiny particles, ie, tracers, near the surface of the microparticle …

Here, we use magnetically driven self-assembled achiral swimmers made of two to four
superparamagnetic micro-particles to provide insight into how swimming kinematics develop …

Electromagnetically propelled helical nanoswimmers offer great potential for nanorobotic
applications. Here, the effect of confinement on their propulsion is characterized using lattice …

Torque-driven microscale swimming robots, or microrotors, hold significant potential in
biomedical applications such as targeted drug delivery, minimally invasive surgery, and …

Micro robotics is quickly emerging to be a promising technological solution to many medical
