Microrocker_Movie S1 (VIDEO)

Georgia Institute of Technology

Caption

The micro-rocker bots created at Georgia Tech are designed to move by performing a stick–slip motion with an out-of-plane magnetic field. The stick-slip motion makes the robots look like they are walking or wobbling to their destination. The scale of the video is 500 micrometers (half a millimeter), and the red line shows the micro-bots trajectory.
