Automated Fabrication of 3D Printed Magnetic Soft Robots With Programmable 3D Magnetizations

Magnetic soft robots (MSRs) are a viable tool for many biomedical applications, such as targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive surgery, since they can be actuated remotely using external magnetic fields. These robots are developed by programming ferromagnetic domains with specific magnetizations using magnetic particles embedded in a flexible substrate. Existing fabrication methods rely on partially automated or manual processes, which …
