Abstract :
Summary form only given. Magnetic micro-machines have suitable properties for medical applications because of their wireless operation. For medical applications, it is required that several machines work individually in the same magnetic field and in a human tissue e.g. a tumor. Based on our previous study, control of the movement direction of the magnetic micro-machine and individual control of two types of machines in a gel were obtained.
