A Soft Magnetic Material Based Micro/Nano-actuator for Robotic Applications
This invention presents a magnetic micro/nano-actuator for robotic applications. The micro/nano-actuator comprises a plurality of soft-magnetic blocks and flexible beams, where two blocks are connected together by a beam. The easy axis of magnetization of each block is in the longitudinal direction. The application of an external magnetic field magnetizes the soft-magnetic blocks, thereby generating […]
