This technology is a magnetic actuation control system that utilizes an electromagnet array with curved magnetic cores to minimize the occupied footprint and concentrate magnetic force toward a target location.
Conventional radial electromagnet arrangements occupy significant space, making them difficult to install due to interference issues with medical imaging equipment such as C-arms, and limiting the precision of magnetic field formation.
By forming the tips of the magnetic cores into a curved shape, this technology allows electromagnets to be arranged on a flat plane while still being oriented toward the target, thereby increasing layout flexibility and improving space efficiency. It can be applied to industrial robots and automation systems to enhance output magnetic fields and magnetic force, allowing for increased control and precision in the movement of self-propelled robots.
This invention was developed with the support of the Ministry of Science and ICT’s project for the development of magnetic multi-sequential multi-bot-based neural network reconstruction platform technology.
