Remotely Triggered Locomotion of Hydrogel Mag-bots in Confined Spaces

In this study, soft hydrogel crawlers with remote magnetic-responsive motility in confined spaces have been developed. Inspired by the motion of maggots, the hydrogel crawlers can reversibly contract and elongate their body controlled by repeatedly switching on/off an alternating magnetic field. Bas...
