Exploring the helicity-orbital coupling induced skyrmion properties is essential for the spintronic applications. Here the authors report the current controlled skyrmions and antiskyrmions dynamics with locking-unlocking helicity in frustrated magnets by including the dipole-dipole interaction in their model.
