Biocompatible carbon nitride-based light-driven microswimmer propulsion in biological and ionic media with responsive on-demand drug delivery
Varun Sridhar, Filip Podjaski, Yunus Alapan +5
We propose two-dimensional organic poly(heptazine imide) (PHI) carbon nitride microparticles as light-driven microswimmers in various ionic and biological media. Their demonstrated…
Selectively Controlled Magnetic Microrobots with Opposing Helices
Joshua Giltinan, Panayiota Katsamba, Wendong Wang +2
Magnetic microrobots that swim through liquid media are of interest for minimally invasive medical procedures, bioengineering, and manufacturing. Many of the envisaged applications…
Order and Information in the Patterns of Spinning Magnetic Micro-disks at the Air-water Interface
Wendong Wang, Gaurav Gardi, Paolo Malgaretti +9
The application of the Shannon entropy to study the relationship between information and structures has yielded insights into molecular and material systems. However, the difficult…
Cohesive self-organization of mobile microrobotic swarms
Berk Yigit, Yunus Alapan, Metin Sitti
Mobile microrobots are envisioned to be useful in a wide range of high-impact applications, many of which requiring cohesive group formation to maintain self-bounded swarms in the…
Monolithic shape-programmable dielectric liquid crystal elastomer actuators
Zoey S. Davidson, Hamed Shahsavan, Amirreza Aghakhani +5
Macroscale robotic systems have demonstrated great capabilities of high speed, precise, and agile functions. However, the ability of soft robots to perform complex tasks, especiall…
The near and far of a pair of magnetic capillary disks
Lyndon Koens, Wendong Wang, Metin Sitti +1
Control on microscopic scales depends critically on our ability to manipulate interactions with different physical fields. The creation of micro-machines therefore requires us to u…
Programmable collective behavior in dynamically self-assembled mobile microrobotic swarms
Berk Yigit, Yunus Alapan, Metin Sitti
Collective control of mobile microrobotic swarms is indispensable for their potential high-impact applications in targeted drug delivery, medical diagnostics, parallel micromanipul…
Kinetics of 2D-constrained orbitally-shaken particles
Dhananjay Ipparthi, Tijmen A. G. Hageman, Nicolas Cambier +4
We present an experimental study of the kinetics of orbitally-shaken macroscopic particles confined to a two-dimensional bounded domain. Discounting the forcing action of the exter…
