Magnetic helical miniature robots (MHMRs) exhibit efficient motion performance in low Reynolds number environments, having great promise for biomedical applications like targeted delivery. However, during delivery, the backward propulsion of MHMRs previous work leads to cargo being released, limiting their degrees freedom and interference resistance. Furthermore, basic magnetic field parameter, amplitude, has not been effectively utilized MHMRs. In this letter, we propose a robot with soft magnetic-controlled gripper (MHMR-G), using amplitude functionalize first time. The velocity MHMR-G is controlled by frequency grasping amplitude. It proposed that lag angle rotation will adversely affect under rotating field, but results show increasing can mitigate these adverse effects. Finally, manipulation test transport performed, demonstrating confine propulsion.

The magnetic field has unique advantages in manipulating miniature robots working inside the human body, such as high transparency to biological tissue and good controllability for generation. Generally, actuated robot can be classified into two categories: tethered devices like intravascular microcatheters untethered helical swimmers. Among these, have a long history clinical application prospects, considering their high‐dose delivery easy removal after procedure. As an evolution of traditional continuum medical devices, integration with actuation provides them better scalability improved dexterity. Although rapidly developed last decades, requires further advancements terms design, fabrication, modeling, control, especially applications. Herein, recent progress magnetically is focused on, intending offer readers comprehensive survey state‐of‐the‐art technologies information collection future system design.

Powered by acoustics, existing therapeutic and diagnostic procedures will become less invasive new methods available that have never been before. Acoustically driven microrobot navigation based on microbubbles is a promising approach for targeted drug delivery. Previous studies used acoustic techniques to manipulate in vitro vivo the delivery of drugs using minimally procedures. Even though many advanced capabilities sophisticated control achieved acoustically powered microrobots, there remain challenges be solved. In order develop next generation intelligent micro/nanorobots, it highly desirable conduct accurate identification micro-nanorobots their dynamic motion autonomously. Here we use reinforcement learning strategies learn dynamics them through forces. The result demonstrated first time autonomous microfluidic environment. Taking advantage benefit second radiation force, swarm form large swarm, which then along desired trajectory. More than 100 thousand images were training study unexpected microbubbles. As this work, microrobots are validated controlled, illustrating good level robustness providing computational intelligence enables navigate independently an unstructured environment without requiring outside assistance.

Such hypothesized originate from microstreaming flows localized around solid microsphere vibrating ultrasound. In addition causing spin, streaming also helped release cargos during capture-transport-release mission. Localized does not depend on interference with propulsion mechanism wide variety micromotors.
