Magnetic miniature robots are promising tools for minimally invasive and noninvasive
therapy. Constructing systems with actuation–perception loops is an essential step to …

Due to the unique advantages of untethered connections and a high level of safety,
magnetic actuation is a commonly used technique in microrobotics for propelling …

This article describes a worm-like soft robot capable of operating in complicated tubular
environments, such as the complex pipeline with different diameters, water, oil, and gas …

Refineries' structures require constant inspection, maintenance of their structural health
condition, and safety of the users; however, accessing these structures is getting more and …

We propose a novel closed-circuit magnetic navigation system (CMNS), which utilizes eight
electromagnets connected by back yokes to maximize a magnetic field. We first show the …

In this article, we propose a novel magnetic-actuated multimodule drug sustained-release
minirobot (DSM) manipulated by an external rotating electromagnetic field. The structure of …

The properties of conventionally utilized magnetic cores limit the generation of a strong
controllable magnetic force for the manipulation of micro-/nanorobots. This study proposes a …

This article presents the development of a novel tensegrity-based robot, TICBot, which is
capable of crawling in tubular environments. Based on the concept of tensegrity, a …

Magnetic robots have shown great potential in small-scale applications due to their wireless
control mode. However, the existing efforts only deal with solid magnetic materials that could …

This paper proposes a regularization-based independent electromagnetic field control
methodology of an external electromagnetic actuator (EMA) for untethered medical …
