The driving force and the scaling effect of ferromagnetic polymer (FMP) acutators are analyzed. The operation principle of the microrobot driven by FMP actuators is studied. Through scaling effect analysis
the possibility of scaling down the microrobot from centimeter size to millimeter size is proven. The result provides a theoretical base for developing FMP microrobots swimming in human blood vessel.
