...Yongshun Zhang; Guangjun Liu This paper presents a bidirectional wireless swimming microrobot that has been developed, analyzed, and experimentally tested. The robot is developed based on fin beating propulsion, using giant magnetostrictive films for head and tail fins. An innovative drive approach...

...Panagiotis Vartholomeos; Evangelos Papadopoulos This paper presents the analysis, design, and simulation of a novel microrobotic platform that is able to perform translational and rotational sliding with submicrometer positioning accuracy and develop velocities up to 1.5 mm ∕ s . The platform...

...Bahareh Behkam; Metin Sitti Miniature and energy-efficient propulsion systems hold the key to maturing the technology of swimming microrobots. In this paper, two new methods of propulsion inspired by the motility mechanism of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms are proposed. Hydrodynamic...
