Control of tetherless magnetically actuated helical robots using rotating dipole fields has a wide variety of medical applications. The most promising technique in manipulation of these robots involves a rotating permanent magnet controlled by a robotic manipulator. In this work, we study the open-loop response of helical robots (in viscous fluids characterized by low Reynolds numbers) in the pres...
