Magnetic Methods in Robotics
Abstract
The goal of this article is to provide a thorough introduction to the state of the art in magnetic methods for remote-manipulation and wireless-actuation tasks in robotics. The article synthesizes prior works using a unified notation, enabling straightforward application in robotics. It begins with a discussion of the magnetic fields generated by magnetic materials and electromagnets, how magnetic materials become magnetized in an applied field, and the forces and torques generated on magnetic objects. It then describes systems used to generate and control applied magnetic fields, including both electromagnetic and permanent-magnet systems. Finally, it surveys work from a variety of robotic application areas in which researchers have utilized magnetic methods, including microrobotics, medical robotics, haptics, and aerospace.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
