Abstract: The invention concerns a novel magnetic actuator mechanism suitable for use on untethered microrobots. It relies on the interaction of magnetic bodies in an external magnetic field. By an oscillating field, the bodies are driven to oscillatory motion, and the energy stored in the oscillation is harnessed. The untethered wireless microactuator according to the invention comprises a mechanical system with at least two magnetic bodies resiliently connected to one another, wherein the mechanical system is capable of being oscillated, in particular driven to resonance, by an oscillating external magnetic field. The actuation system according to the invention comprises such a microrobot as well as a magnetic field generator with adjustable field direction and oscillation frequency. The actuation method comprises exciting two or more magnetic bodies with an oscillating magnetic field such that they perform mechanical oscillations, and harnessing this energy for propulsion of the device or to fulfill other tasks.

Abstract: A planar motor (32) for positioning a stage (44) along a first axis, and along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis includes a conductor array (52) and a magnet array (34). The conductor array (52) includes at least one conductor (256). The magnet array (34) is positioned near the conductor array (52) and is spaced apart from the conductor array (52) along a third axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and the second axis. The magnet array (34) includes a first magnet unit (264) having a first diagonal magnet (D1) with a diagonal magnetization direction (268) that is diagonal to the first axis, the second axis and the third axis. This leads to strong magnetic fields above the magnet array (34) and strong force generation capability. Further, the planar motor (32) provided herein has less stray magnetic fields that extend beyond the magnet array (34) than a comparable prior art planar motor. Moreover, the first magnet unit (264) can include a second diagonal magnet (D2), a third diagonal magnet (D3), and a fourth diagonal magnet (D4) that cooperate to provide a first combined magnetic flux (276) that is somewhat aligned along the third axis in a first flux direction. In this embodiment, each diagonal magnet (D1) (D2) (D3) (D4) has the diagonal magnetization direction (268) that is diagonal to the first axis, the second axis and the third axis. Moreover, each diagonal magnet (D1) (D2) (D3) (D4) can be generally triangular wedge shaped and the diagonal magnets (D1) (D2) (D3) (D4) are arranged together into the shape of a parallelepiped.
