abstract = "Magnetically actuated miniature robots exhibit great potential in lab-on-a-chip and biomedical applications. However, the existing soft robots made from elastomers have limited functionality and are unable to operate in very narrow environments such as channels much smaller than their size due to their limited deformability. Herein, a magnetically actuated millirobot based on liquid metal is proposed to address the above problems. The droplet robot is fabricated by mixing iron particles and a gallium-indium droplet. The static analysis of the robot is conducted, and the dynamic equation is established. The control strategy is analyzed, the experimental setup is designed, and related experiments are conducted. In the experiments, the droplet robot demonstrates remarkable flexibility and softness when navigating freely in narrow channels, allowing it to easily pass through confined spaces much smaller than its size. The demonstrated capabilities of the droplet present a promising potential for its application in lab-on-a-chip or biomedical devices.",
