“…A speed of ferromagnetic beads of approximately 8.43-11.1 cm s -1 in the carotid artery of living swine was detected using clinical MRI; this is the highest nanoswimmer speed reported to date (Martel et al 2007). Biocompatible thermo-responsive (Tabatabaei et al 2010(Tabatabaei et al , 2011 and pH responsive (Chanu et al 2007) polymer/hydro-gels have been used to make nanoswimmers carrying a payload to release a drug at a specific site. For studying nanoswimmer propulsion MRI has proven to be better than other imaging modalities, e.g.…”

Locomotion at micro and nano scales is a challenge and has drawn attention for over six decades. Inspired by nature, studies have mimicked nanoswimming organisms, which use rotating or beating flagella for locomotion. This mode of propulsion, also known as flagellar propulsion, has been explored extensively in the literature. However, chemical and magnetic methods have gained interest in the last decade owing to advantages including high thrust force and wireless control. The review summarizes chronologically the various propulsion mechanisms for moving a nanoswimmer using chemical fuel, magnetic fields, ultrasonic pulses and thrust force generated by bacteria in the presence of external stimuli including laser light, and thermal and chemical gradients.

“…Currently, most multifunctional magnetic micro-and nanorobots only use Recently, Martel's group developed microrobots made of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) encapsulated in thermosensitive hydrogels [87,88]. The MNPs enabled the microcarriers to travel by means of 3D magnetic gradients, along a planned trajectory in the blood vessels based on tracking information gathered using Magnetic…”

Micro-and nanorobots are promising devices for biomedical and environmental applications. The past few years have witnessed rapid developments in this field. This short review intends to address recent progress on magnetically driven micro-and nanorobots developed in our laboratory and by other research groups. Different designs such as helical swimmers, flexible swimmers, surface walkers, and others are categorized and discussed. Specific applications of these robots in the fields of biomedicine or environmental remediation are also reported. Finally, the use of magnetic fields for additional capabilities beyond manipulation is presented.
