“…Moreover, the biosafety of magnetic nanoparticles is another concern for the in vivo use of magnetism-responsive 4D materials. [169,171] We expect that more studies on the remote actuation of such untethered, complex, and fast shape-shifting soft materials based on MF stimulation will be further explored in the future, and will create new possibilities for biomedical applications in implantable flexible electronics, soft biorobots, and other biomedical devices.…”

“…This unique feature facilitates the remote control of 4D shape change. Magnetism‐responsive materials have been widely used to design and fabricate various actuation devices due to their excellent mechanical response to an external MF, including magnetic force and torque, for diverse applications such as actuators, [ 167 ] soft robotics, [ 168 ] biomedical devices, [ 169 ] tissue engineering scaffolds, [ 170 ] and drug delivery systems. [ 171 ] Current research in magnetism‐driven 4D printing largely focuses on the deformation of magnetism‐responsive polymer composites achieved by SLA, SLS, and DIW printing.…”

printing. First introduced by Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Skylar Tibbits during a Technology, Entertainment, Design (TED) talk in 2013, and then subsequently expanded upon in published research, [2] 4D printing has gained substantial research attention in recent years and has become the subject matter of a substantial number of recent publications (Figure 1).The additional dimension over 3D printing, namely, the 4th dimension, is a time component. [3] Therein, 4D printing can be defined as a 3D printed structure that can self-transform in shape, properties, and/or functionality when exposed to predetermined stimuli, such as light, [4] heat, applied magnetic field (MF), [5] or electrical field (EF), [6] changes in pH, [7] and/or various combinations thereof postprinting. [8] Since its invention, the 4D printing approach has been utilized for multitudinous applications, such as the fabrication of sensors, [9] actuators, [10] soft robotics, [11] biomedical scaffolds/devices, drug delivery systems, [12] and others. [13] Presently, 4D printing, which is still in its infancy, has become an exciting branch of AM and has spurred great interest from both academia and industry alike. [14] In this review article, we present a general overview of the 4D printing field and recent achievements. Our review includes the discussion on the structural design of 4D printing,The rapid development of 3D printing has led to considerable progress in the field of biomedical engineering. Notably, 4D printing provides a potential strategy to achieve a time-dependent physical change within tissue scaffolds or replicate the dynamic biological behaviors of native tissues for smart tissue regeneration and the fabrication of medical devices. The fabricated stimulusresponsive structures can offer dynamic, reprogrammable deformation or actuation to mimic complex physical, biochemical, and mechanical processes of native tissues. Although there is notable progress made in the development of the 4D printing approach for various biomedical applications, its more broad-scale adoption for clinical use and tissue engineering purposes is complicated by a notable limitation of printable smart materials and the simplistic nature of achievable responses possible with current sources of stimulation. In this review, the recent progress made in the field of 4D printing by discussing the various printing mechanisms that are achieved with great emphasis on smart ink mechanisms of 4D actuation, construct structural design, and printing technologies, is highlighted. Recent 4D printing studies which focus on the applications of tissue/organ regeneration and medical devices are then summarized. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives of 4D printing are also discussed.The ORCID identification number(s) for the author(s) of this article can be found under https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202109198.

“…Due to its transparency to human and animal tissues when the field is weak and varying slowly [9] and the capability to address micro-objects wirelessly, magnetic fields have been widely used in robotic micromanipulation. Magnetic-driven microrobotic systems have been demonstrated in performing independent control of multiple magnetic agents in 2D [10] and 3D [11], selective manipulation and extraction [12], [13], swarm motion and patterning [14], [15], as well as carrying out targeted gene delivery [16] and climbing on liquid menisci [17], among a plethora of other reported capabilities [10] [11] [18]. Over the previous two decades, many impressive results have been reported, including contactless ocular operations, targeted drug delivery [7], [19], [20] in-vitro diagnosis [21], endoscopy [22], minimally invasive operation [23], and environmental remediation [24], [25].…”

In this paper, we report a cooperative manipulation method for non-contact robotic electromagnetic needle manipulation system. We employ two 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) robotic electromagnetic needles to achieve an over-actuated manipulator, which can move the particle to any position in the planar workspace from any direction. The redundant DOFs, combined with an optimization-based control approach, enable the manipulator to achieve accurate path following and avoid the collision of needles. Using visual servoing, the developed controller can achieve line following accuracy of 0.33±0.32 μm, square following accuracy of 0.77±0.55 μm, and circle following accuracy of 0.89±0.66 µm with a 4.5 µm diameter superparamagnetic particle. The manipulator can also manipulate a particle along complex paths such as infinity symbol and letter symbols.

Manipulation of small-scale matter is a fundamental topic in micro-and nanorobotics. Numerous magnetic robotic systems have been developed for the manipulation of microparticles in an ambient environment, liquid as well as on the air-liquid interface. These systems move intrinsically magnetic or magnetically tagged objects by inducing a magnetic torque or force. However, most of the materials found in nature are nonmagnetic. Here, we report a ferrofluidic manipulator for automatic two-dimensional manipulation of non-magnetic objects floating on top of a ferrofluid. The manipulation system employs eight centimeter-scale solenoids, which can move non-magnetic particles by deforming the air-ferrofluid interface. Using linear programming, we can control the motion of the non-magnetic particles with a predefined trajectory of a line, square, and circle with a precision of 25.1±19.5 µm, 34.4±28.4 µm and 33.4±26.6 µm, respectively. The ferrofluidic manipulator is versatile with the materials and the shapes of the objects under manipulation. We have successfully manipulated particles made of polyethylene, polystyrene, a silicon chip, and poppy and sesame seeds. This work shows a promising venue for the manipulation of living and nonliving matter at the air-liquid interface.
