  • Methods and apparatus for microagent control
    Patent number: 11657940
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method for controlling a microagent in a workspace. The method includes providing a plurality of magnetic sources and generating a rotating gradient magnetic field by activating the plurality of magnetic sources differently such that a driving force is created to drive the microagent towards an aggregation center in the workspace.
    Type: Grant

  • Magnetically controllable robotic device and its method of making
    Patent number: 11433559
    Abstract: A magnetically controllable robotic device including a body having a first body part and a second body part movably connected with the first body part. The first body part and the second body part are both rigid. The first body part is magnetically-responsive such that the first body part can be controlled by an external magnetic field generated by an magnetic control system. The first body part may be controlled such that the magnetically controllable robotic device is moved by the external magnetic field.
