Vortex control and micro-object cluster transport by collective high-speed swimming magnetic robots
Hanyang University announced on November 11 that a team of Professor Wie Jung-jae of Hanyang University's Department of Organic and Nano Engineering has developed a technology that can collect thousands of floating micro plastics through collective behavior control of magnetic robots. Professor Wie's team used a robot's collective behavior strategy to quickly transport a large number of micro-objects. A gripper-type robot picks up objects one by one, transfers them to the desired position, and puts them down. Though it can have delicate motion control, it is hard to move thousands of objects. Instead of a gripper robot, Professor Wie's team developed a magnetic robot capable of high-speed swimming. When a planar rotating magnetic field was applied under the board on which the robot was located, the magnetic robot group was rotated at a high speed on the water. As a result, they have implemented a technology that can create a vortex on the surface of the water and capture thousands of floating micro plastics within the generated vortex. |
