This work demonstrates a novel approach to steering a magnetic swimming robot in two dimensions with a single pair of Maxwell coils. By leveraging the curvature of the magnetic field gradient, we achieve motion along two axes. This method allows us to control medical magnetic robots using only existing MRI technology, without requiring additional hardware or posing any additional risk to the patie...
