Reliable Grasping of Three-Dimensional Untethered Mobile Magnetic Microgripper for Autonomous Pick-and-Place

Manipulation of micrometer to millimeter-scale objects is central to biotechnological and medical applications involving small-scale robotic devices. Mobile untethered microgrippers have been developed, which use magnetic fields for motion and activation of grasping. This letter extends the capabilities of such microgrippers by presenting the first example of reliable and autonomous three-dimensio...
