Fig 1. The electromagnetic setup for magnetic motion control consisting of six orthogonally-oriented electromagnetic coils.

Fig 1

A maximal current of 3.5 A is used to activate the electromagnetic coils. The setup generates maximum magnetic fields and gradients of 15 mT and 60 mT/m, respectively. Right inset: The developed PacMan™-like scenario used for the comparison of the motion control of grippers in dynamic unpredictable environments. Left insets, from top to bottom: Microscopy images of: 750 μm two-finger gripper, 100 μm six-finger gripper, 250 μm six-finger gripper, 980 μm six-finger gripper. All scale bars are 100 μm. Unless noted, measurements are reported in the form: mean value ± standard deviation.
