State-of-the-art biomedical applications such as targeted drug delivery and laparoscopic
surgery are extremely challenging because of the small length scales, the requirements of …

Well-posedness and applications of classical elastohydrodynamics for a swimming filament
Page 1 Nonlinearity PAPER • OPEN ACCESS Well-posedness and applications of classical …

With the continuing rapid development of artificial microrobots and active particles,
questions of microswimmer guidance and control are becoming ever more relevant and …

Active walls such as cilia and bacteria carpets generate background flows that can influence
the trajectories of microswimmers moving nearby. Recent advances in artificial magnetic …

Elastic filaments are vital to biological, physical and engineering systems, from cilia driving
fluid in the lungs to artificial swimmers and micro-robotics. Simulating slender structures …

Many robotic systems locomote using gaits—periodic changes of internal shape, whose
mechanical interaction with the robot's environment generate characteristic net …

The controllability of a fully three-dimensional N-link swimmer is studied. After deriving the
equations of motion in a low Reynolds number fluid by means of Resistive Force Theory, the …

In this article, we present a simplified model of a flagellar micro-swimmer actuated by
external magnetic fields that is based on shape discretization and an approximation of the …

This thesis is devoted to modelling and simulating swimmers at low Reynolds number. Two
computational frameworks are devised for these purposes, and they are used in synergy …

Magnetic particles confined in microchannels can be actuated to perform translation motion
using a rotating magnetic field, but their actuation in such a situation is not yet well …
