A research collaboration between Cornell and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems has found an efficient way to expand the collective behavior of swarming microrobots: Mixing different sizes of the micron-scale ‘bots enables them to self-organize into diverse patterns that can be manipulated when a magnetic field is applied. The technique even allows the swarm to “cage” passive objects and then expel them.

Researchers broke a barrier within soft robotics by harnessing viscosity to force the precise movement of a flexible limb.
Cornell researchers have developed a system of fluid-driven actuators that enable soft robots to achieve more complex motions.
