The magnetic microrobot has become a promising approach in many biomedical applications due to its small volume, flexible motion, and untethered micromachines. The micro-chain robot is one of the most popular magnetic microrobots. However, the uncontrollable magnetic moment direction and quantity of the magnetic beads consisted in the existing self-assembled micro-chain robot limit their locomotio...
