Structured light enables biomimetic swimming and versatile locomotion of photoresponsive soft microrobots. (2016, background): “Moreover, the linear dependence of the swimming speed on the frequency of actuation reported in (1) is valid only for relatively low frequencies, limited by the characteristic time of the material response (see Supplementary Information 10).”
Active Particles in Complex and Crowded Environments (2016, background): “…provide great hope to address some challenges that our society is currently facing — in particular, personalized healthcare, environmental sustainability, and security (Abdelmohsen et al., 2014; Ebbens, 2016; Gao and Wang, 2014; Nelson et al., 2010; Patra et al., 2013; Wang and Gao, 2012).”
Forward and backward motion control of a vibro-impact capsule system. (2015, background): “Introduction In the last few years, there was a growing interest in developing mobile mechanisms for minimally invasive surgical operation [1, 2, 3, 4] and engineering pipeline inspection [5, 6, 7].”
