The micro magnetic swimming mechanism was produced for trial purposes based on the swimming analysis of copepods in the beginning. The magnetic mechanism composed of a permanent magnet and polyethyleneterephthalate film fin swims by the alternating magnetic field. Frequency characteristics of the swimming mechanism were examined, and surface flow fields induced by the robot propulsion were analyzed by visualization method. The swimming properties of micro magnetic mechanism were revealed experimentally.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
