Soft microrobotics have recently been an active field that advances microrobotics with new robot design, locomotion, and applications. In this paper, we study the ferrofluid robot (FR), which has soft nature and exhibits paramagnetism. Currently, the FR locomotion is usually realized by magnetic force. To enable the FR with more locomotion modes for environment and task adaptability, we program th...
