Active generation and magnetic actuation of microrobotic swarms in bio-fluids

Although microrobotic swarms are attractive for biomedical applications, controlling their collective movement in specific bio-fluids is difficult. Here, the authors report navigated locomotion and collective behaviors of magnetic field- and medium-induced micro-robotic swarms in various bio-fluids.
