The collective actuation of miniaturized robots is highly desirable for executing cooperative tasks. Won et al. show collective locomotion of ternary-nanocomposite-based magnetic robots that are capable of rectilinear translational and rotational swimming controlled by a pulsed electromagnetic field.
