abstract = "A magnetically-actuated two-fingered soft grasper, embedded with programmable magnetic micro-particles, is proposed. It consists of a rectangular PDMS joint and two PDMS-fingered structures embedded with magnetic micro-particles. The micro-particles inside the finger structures are aligned in specific angles (α) and have the polarity to ensure the actuation to a desired position. The alignment angle and magnetic polarity can be both defined and controlled during the fabrication. The soft grasper is made and showing a 80-degree rotation for each fingers when an external magnetic field is applied at a 5-Amp actuation current.",
