This paper studies the mechanism, modelling, and applications of deformable magnetized structures under external magnetic fields. These structures, known as "magnetic soft continuum robots" (MSCRs), have become increasingly interesting because they allow advances in the field of intra-corporeal navigation and minimally invasive surgery. Several sci...

... testing several materials, we now use PDMS as the polymer base of the beam. Figure 7 shows photographs of our first prototypes: pure PDMS, PDMS mixed with NdFeB particles for ϕ = 0.1 (10% of particles fraction) and ϕ = 0.4 (40% of particles fraction). A prototype including a permanent magnet in the distal part is also manufactured. ...
