1 Introduction One of the main goals of today technology is building micrometer-scale robots with reliable performance, that might lead to new applications, for instance in bio-detection, theragnosis, drug delivery, single-cell manipulation, microsurgery filtration, molecular separation, size analysis, or point-of-care diagnostics.[1, 2] Fully functional small-scale actuated robots are often designed at a millimeter scale.[3] However, at smaller length scales actuation becomes more difficult...
