Abstract : We report a worm-like soft robot controlled by magnetic anisotropy which is introduced by aligned Fe3O4 magnetic microparticles (MMPs) in its elastomer body. When magnetic field is applied,MMPs tend to assemble themselves into the chain and develop a directionally responsive material. Moreover, we increased the magnetic property of magnetic particle embedded elastomer film by increasing the concentration of MMPs and find the best case to perform the worm-like motion of the actuator. The chained structure was fixed by curing material, integrated with a less-friction paper to make worm-like soft robot controlled by time-varying magnetic field.
