CM's magnetically actuated micro-robots

at carnegie mellon university's nanorobotics lab, they employ external magnetic fields to controllably position and orient a 200 x 100 x 50-micron permanent magnet micro-robot [ 1 ].

they demonstrate[d] this approach at the 2007 and 2008 [ event] robocup nanogram demonstrations.
