Magnetic Coil Setup Guides Microrobots without Seeing Them
SMU researchers have built a triaxial Helmholtz coil system that creates a uniform magnetic field gradient, enabling microrobots to be guided without continuous visual tracking. The six‑coil arrangement, calibrated with a triaxial magnetometer and refined by Tikhonov regularization, delivers consistent 3‑D forces across the workspace. Validation against COMSOL simulations showed 99 % accuracy, confirming reliable operation. The technology promises biomedical and industrial uses where cameras are impractical.
