Abstract
As implantable micro-robots become a promising solution for medical applications, the interests for micro-robot control are growing. However, most research has been focused on DC magnetic field control. In this paper, we propose a micro-robot powered by wireless power transfer system which generates propulsion force and torque as well as electrical energy to perform complex missions. The concept of propulsion and torque generation is explained and validated by simulation results.
