Modeling and steering magneto-elastic micro-swimmers inspired by the motility of sperm cells

Controlling artificial devices that mimic the motion of real microorganisms, is attracting increasing interest, both from the mathematical point of view and applications. A model for a magnetically driven slender micro-swimmer, mimicking a sperm cell is presented, supported by two examples showing h...
