“…Magnetic actuation causes the propulsion of magnetically responsive microrobots with magnetic torques and/or forces. A low-frequency and quasi-static magnetic field is the commonly used approach to apply forces and torques directly to untethered magnetic microrobots ( Nelson et al, 2010 ; Zhang et al, 2017b ). When a microrobot having an embedded magnetic component is placed in a magnetic field, B, it experiences a magnetic force, F. The magnetic force can be calculated using the following equation ( Fountain et al, 2010 ):

Where, m is the magnetic dipole moment and

is the gradient of the magnetic field.…”

Untethered robots of the size of a few microns have attracted increasing attention for the potential to transform many aspects of manufacturing, medicine, health care, and bioengineering. Previously impenetrable environments have become available for high-resolution in situ and in vivo manipulations as the size of the untethered robots goes down to the microscale. Nevertheless, the independent navigation of several robots at the microscale is challenging as they cannot have onboard transducers, batteries, and control like other multi-agent systems, due to the size limitations. Therefore, various unconventional propulsion mechanisms have been explored to power motion at the nanoscale. Moreover, a variety of combinations of actuation methods has also been extensively studied to tackle different issues. In this survey, we present a thorough review of the recent developments of various dedicated ways to actuate and control multistimuli-enabled microrobots. We have also discussed existing challenges and evolving concepts associated with each technique.
