Flapping Bird (VIDEO) Paul Scherrer Institute This video is under embargo. Please login to access this video. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Caption The video shows the movements of the microrobot in the form of a bird that is only a few tens of micrometres across. The drawing at the top left illustrates with different colours that the arrangements of nanomagnets on each component can be magnetised differently. Below is shown how each of the panels is then magnetised differently (red arrows). The video (bottom right) shows that the flapping movement (top right) actually takes place.
