This paper presents the design and control of a novel microrobot that utilizes two distinct magnetic locomotion methods, a combination of rotating and gradient field control, for precise micro-object manipulation using multiple end-effectors. Rotating magnetic fields induce a tumbling locomotion mode to increase the movement speed and decrease issues associated with stiction and locomotion over ro...
