A method of making a magnetically-drivable microrobot that is suitable for carrying and delivering cells includes photo-curing a photo-curable material composition to form a body of the magnetically-drivable microrobot. The photo-curable material composition includes a degradable component, a structural component, a magnetic component, and a photo-curing facilitation composition including a photoinitiator component and a photosensitizer component.

Magnetically-drivable microrobot

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.

Methods and apparatus for microagent control

An electromagnetic device for manipulating a magnetic-responsive robotic device, and an electromagnetic apparatus incorporate one or more such electromagnetic device. The electromagnetic device includes a magnetic corehaving a first portion and a second portion extends from one side of the first portion. The first portion has a first cross section and defining a first central axis. The second portion has a second cross section smaller than the first cross section, and defines a second central axis parallel to the first central axis. A first electromagnetic coil is arranged around the first cylindrical portion. A second electromagnetic coil is arranged around the second cylindrical portion.
