Taryn and Nick present on DNA-linked colloidal microrobots at ICRA 2025!
Congrats to Taryn Imamura and Nick Chung for presenting their exciting work on colloidal "DNA" robots presented at ICRA 2025! Taryn and equal co-author Teresa Kent (from co-advisor Sarah Bergbreiter's lab) developed a methodology for extracting locomotion information for magnetically actuated microswimmers in complex environments with dynamic fluid flows. This work is essential for translating, pun intended, this technology into target applications.
Undergraduate researcher, Nick Chung, worked closely with Taryn and the two have also developed a workflow for dynamic reorientation of microswimmers to control microswimmer heading irrespective of magnetic moment of an individual swimmer. Nick presented this this work at the Unusual Robots workshop at ICRA.
